Jungle

Jungle is a mini e-commerce application built with Rails 4.2 for purposes of teaching Rails by example.

The primary goal of this project was to get comfortable being uncomfortable, by inheriting an existing codebase and all its problems. Working on this project allowed me to apply previous learning tactics to research and become familiar with what used to be a foreign language, Ruby on Rails.

Realistic features and bug fixes were described, rather than shown through step-by-step instructions to simulate real-world scenarios.
