Learn a new programming language

Join the chat at https://gitter.im/codex-academy/codeX_LearnAnotherLanguage

Time has come for you to learn a new programming language to help cement your coding skills. We prefer that you learn Python, but given a good enough reason you can learn another language. We will handle language choice on a case by case basis.

It’s important that you are starting to work on your public profile on github.

Learn the basics

Use the new language & TDD to:

  • To solve Nelisa’s Story 1 and Story 2 using the CSV file
  • To connect to a MySQL database for Nelisa’s Shop
  • Setup a web server to display:
    • How many of each product Nelisa sold
    • How many of each category Nelisa sold
    • Show all products
    • Create forms to create new categories & products
    • Use Bootstrap as your CSS framework
  • Explore & use an ORM framework

Start a project

Now implement a project of your own choice using the new language you learned. Please come and discuss the details of your project with us.

Before you so answer the questions below and draw up a block diagram to describe your project:

  • What is your project about?
  • Who is your target audience?
  • What do you hope to achieve with your project?
  • What technology challenges do you foresee?

Once your project is set, you will need to develop the following agile product development tools:

  • Personas: Who uses your app, and how does it help them?
  • Story Map: What are the key areas of functionality?
  • Prototypes: What do the screens look like? How does the navigation work?
  • Acceptance Criteria: How do you know if each story is done?
  • Backlog: Ordered list of user stories

Technologies to use:

You’ll need different tech stacks, depending on which language you use.

For Python & Ruby see below.

How do these compare with Javascript?

Skill Python Ruby
TDD * your choice * your choice
Web framework Flask Sinatra
ORM PeeWee Active Record
Templating * your choice * your choice
Database Migrations * your choice * your choice
Continuous Integration Travis/Jenkins Travis/Jenkins
Deployment VPS using Digital Ocean VPS using Digital Ocean
