Took a huge leap in Koans today after hanging out at the General Assembly downtown. Met a few people (due to Mozilla shirt, what what George), but mostly processed a few key ideas in Ruby Koans--now committed to github after someone's recommendation.
Today's chunk was rather huge: Focused on classes, constants, message passing, and methods, as well as finished the Greed game code (which didn't take too long), and the Dice Project code (which was very familiar to Chris Pine's version). One major difficulty I've come across is writing code to someone else's code--it's really frustrating when you have a design idea but it has to work with someone else's idea of how it should be framed.
I left off at Proxy Object Project, realizing I think I need a night to let the learning settle in before I get back at it. I also need to find my coding notebook so write the pseudo-code, since I'm not nearly good enough to just figure it out by writing code straight. This is a lot of calling objects and messages to be sent around--which is everything I read about today--but I just need some time to digest and review before kicking it in. 259/274... so almost done!
Interview week starts off tomorrow, followed by meeting with a startup CEO about another position, and more interviews next week.
