For homework tonight we are going to make a simple command line based program in ruby, your first ruby application! You also are going to take some time to review a Sinatra Application's Source Code! More on that on the bottom.

• Create a ruby application that runs from a single ruby file deaf_grandma.rb
• When you run ruby deaf_grandma.rb in the terminal you should be greeted by grandma, and promted for some input.
• If your input is not in all caps, grandma should respond with "WHAT'S THAT SONNY?" and promt the user again.
• If your input IS in all caps, grandma should respond with "NO DEAR, NOT SINCE 1928!"

Bonus:

• Keep this loop going until the user inputs "GOODBYE GRANDMA"
• Every 5 questions Grandma get's asked she says "It's getting late, dear."
• After 20 questions Grandma only responds with "ZZZZZZ" (unless we say GOODBYE GRANDMA)
• Add some features of your own! Be creative!

Here's a screenshot of what we expect this to look like:

• Ruby User Input
• Looping in Ruby
• Case in Ruby

Check out this nifty little web app that gives github repo's a score in a old-school gaming fashion! Its not the most useful app ever, but it is simple. It does one thing and does it well.

Once you have played with the app a little bit, check out the source code. Start with the app.rb Think about the following questions:

• What's familiar?
• What isn't?
• What looks like good code?
• What doesn't?
• Is this MVC?

During the previous exercise, rate your progress on a scale of 1-5 (5 being the highest) for the following criteria:

• Persistence: Do you handle frustration well? Do you independently pursue understanding?
• Organization: Do you thoughtfully implement best coding patterns and practices?
• Collaboration: Do you make an effort solve problems and share your ideas with others?
• Communication: Do you clearly convey your thoughts to others in illustrative and clear ways?
• Self-compassion: Do you make productive use of turning failures into learning opportunities?
• Resourcefulness: Do make an effort to compare and contrast new ideas with ones you already know?
