Ruby was my first programming language and introduced me to the principles of Object Oriented Programming and Test Driven Development. This project allowed me to consolidate my learning by building a web app from scratch. I really enjoyed deepening my understanding of the Model-View-Controller model, getting to grips with the Sinatra framework and implementing RESTful routing. It also taught me (through trial and error) to better manage my time and planning with tools like Pomodoro, Trello, Kanban and wireframe diagramming. Since it was only touched upon during the first module, I decided to push myself to improve my CSS skills, with particular focus on using Grid (which I felt would suit my goal for the app).
