PWSdelta / json_response_handling_ruby.rb

Created December 11, 2013 14:20

Ruby script that uses open-uri to fetch the contents of a JSON endpoint, uses the JSON gem to parse the string into a Ruby array & prints some of the records. This is the foundation for all web API requests, so feel free to use it in the future.

	# http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib-2.0.0/libdoc/open-uri/rdoc/OpenURI.html
	require 'open-uri'
	# https://github.com/flori/json
	require 'json'
	# http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9008847/what-is-difference-between-p-and-pp
	require 'pp'

	# Construct the URL we'll be calling
	request_uri = 'http://localhost:3000/users.json'
	request_query = ''

sorting algorithms

	# Build your own sort method. It does not have to be fancy, any sort will do.
	# There are many listed here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorting_algorithm#Summaries_of_popular_sorting_algorithms
	# insertion sort or selection sort are probably easiest

	# The purpose is to let the user customize how you sort the array by submitting a block that tells you which
	# element goes first.
	#
	# If a block is given , it should use the block to determine what order the elements should be sorted by
	#
	# Rules for spaceship operator (Java calls it compareTo):

Game of life

	One of the projects you can choose from this week is called the game of life

	This is a classic problem you can do in any programming language.
	http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway's_Game_of_Life

	This is a good tutorial on game of life and how to use the Gosu gem to create a visualization of your game of life
	http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5fesJ3wM6s

	This is a great project to practice TDD on although it will be hard until we cover mocking and stubbing (advanced testing techniques)
