The Pair Programming Bot

Link to deployed app

Learning Objectives:

  • Write routes to handle specific requests
  • Render a view template with data derived from the URL (params)
  • Passing data to ERB (Embedded Ruby templates) via instance variables

Prompt

You are going to recreate the Pair Programming Bot from scratch using Sinatra. The pair programming 'bot' render a page where it asks the programmer a question relating to the development of his or her code. Each page will either have a 'YES/NO' option or a 'DONE' option, and each option will link to the appropriate page.

Helpful Hints from a Benevolent Alum

  • Draw a flow chart for the app's behavior before you code a word. Check out this flowchart example for flowchart inspiration.

  • You should use ERB templates to keep your code DRY. Ask yourself what types of pages you will need a template for?

  • For each of the templates that you use, think about what information you will need to pass in using instance variables.

  • Styling is secondary, so don't start styling until your app works.
