For my Sinatra project I built a scheduler app which keeps track of timed appointments and to-dos. I’m in the final stages of my project and simply need to tie up a few loose ends including this blog post. Ironically, I had a bit of a problem with scheduling while building this.
For some pesky reason, I have the darnedest time with the method initialize. I was asked to implement it as part of my CLI project and I knew what it did- I could explain it but it took some time and support to get it working within my gem project. It’s a silly thing, really, and I’ve gone to great extents to understand it better.
The answer is kind of difficult. I’ve been past-due on this post for a while. It’s partly because of ignorance— I honestly didn’t realize that I had to register for the blog portion and for some silly reason, I was expecting some kind of email reminder prodding me to do it. When I finished my CLI gem blog post it was like- “Hey- you’re late on all your blog posts.” That’s a big oops on my part. The other part of it has been hesitation.
I was really excited to be working on this project. Working with the material and video tutorial, I felt like I was totally confident I could take this on and do a decent job. Although I am happy to say that I am writing this blog in preparing to submit this lesson, I have to admit that there was a strange, sort of shaky point or two in there.
