Programming for Everybody @ Le Wagon Seoul

Welcome!

This repository contains all the files you'll see during the webinars of the course Programming for Everybody hosted by Le Wagon Seoul. Welcome aboard! 🎉

⚠️ IMPORTANT

Any tool you see a teacher using during a live session is free to use and optional to this course. The applications we'll present are used by thousands of successful tech companies around the world (including us!), and we'll utilise them to show you how to work in a real development environment.

If you don’t have any prior experience, please just follow the session, ask your eventual questions at the end of it, write and share your experience with your classmates on the Slack workspace, and don’t do anything else described here. As explained during the program presentation, this course is just an extension of the Codecademy Ruby track, and you are not required to do anything more than following the webinars.

Usage

Please star the repository (if you have Github), or just bookmark the page in your favourite browser.

Each Ruby file you see in this repository will be filled by a teacher during the corresponding session.

Setup

N.B: This is a free online learning series, and our teachers won't be able to help you with your computer configuration. If you are just moving your first steps (you don't know Git, Ruby, what a terminal is, or any of the tools we are using), please just follow the webinars and, if you feel confident enough, use a REPL as described below. Want to learn to configure your computer like a pro? Do it with us!

REPL

You can use a REPL to see and interact with the code we share every session.

First, create an account on Repl.it. Once logged-in, come back here and click this button 👉 to open this repository there, then click fork to save a copy in your personal REPLs collection.

You can use the Ruby console on the right to run quick tests, or create more complex files in the test folder and execute them from the integrated shell. If the shell window is not displaying automatically, open it manually or with the ⌘⇧S shortcut (see the first picture below), and run your test files from there with ruby test/name_of_the_file.rb.

After a session ends, switch to the Version Control tab and click Pull to get the new files from the lecture.

N.B: if the pull command doesn't work, it's probably because you edited some files you shouldn't touch! 🛑 Check which ones under Changed files or folders, and if they don't belong to the test folder, make them look exactly as the ones on GitHub, then click Pull again. If this doesn't help either, just come back here and follow the instructions again to create a new copy ☝️
