New Horizons

05 Jul 2016

Reading time ~1 minute

What I Did

  1. I researched into the following gems: activeadmin, activematerial, devise as well as Colonel Kurtz.
  2. I got a page resource setup for a fresh rails app for the intern group project - “These Numbers Matter”
  3. Spent a ton of time debugging an error relating to databases and deploying to Heroku, as well as an error that arose, because I had not git initialized my new repository, so git commands were defaulting to my top level ~/ directory - which was a very sad thing for a long time.

What I Learned

  1. Material design is a design language developed at Google.
  2. A database index is a data structure that improves the speed of operations in a table.

What I Still Don’t Understand

  1. I’m a bit unclear on how the production, test, and development databases differ. For example, even after creating a Page record in which I assume to be my development database, I’m getting a 500 error because Heroku complains that the records I’m trying to reference is nil.
