From Aviation to Software Engineer


A Suspenseful Flight Path Breaking Into Tech.

COVID-19, ORM & Active Record (Pre-Sinatra)

This has been a tough month for focusing. Being in the airline industry, we’ve taken a huge hit due the COVID-19 pandemic. I’m sure you all are aware of the “social distancing” term and how important it is, however being isolated in my apartment with my thoughts has been extremely difficult. I’ve allowed myself to lose focus due to the everyday struggle of not knowing if I’d have a job when I returned to work. We still have to fly during this crisis, so sometimes I don’t even feel safe being around my family. I can honestly think this is another calling for me to pursue my software engineering career. Having skills that nobody can take away from me is vital, and makes me irreplacable in the tech industry!


CLI Project? *Sigh* Where to Start!

WHAT IS THE FIRST STEP?


Procedural Ruby. Is it a Metaphor for life?

Well, lets look at the definition of a metaphor. A metaphor is a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable.


Procedural Programming in Ruby? Why is it Necessary?

Procedural programming is a paradigm which requires a series of logical steps & sub-steps in order to solve problems using data. In Ruby, methods are used to modify the state of our programs. The data remains separate from the procedures. Knowing the procedures in Ruby is vital, this includes writing statements, manipulating arrays, writing detailed methods, hashes, etc. These are considered the building blocks for implementing logic and abstraction in Ruby. It also creates a smooth transition into Object Oriented Programming.
