Team 276linesofCode - Rails Girls Summer of Code 2017

Hey all,

It has been a long long ride since February (when we had to write our applications for RGSoC 2017) and it's finally July!

This is when we start our Rails Girls Summer of Code (RGSoC) 2017 program, by working and contributing for Tessel. Having seen Tessel as a project in the RGSoC project list of 2017, we were eager to take it up at once since, we felt that through this project we would be able to discover both the horizons - Hardware and Software.

Who are we?

Team 276linesofCode is an amalgamation of all things tech and electronic. The Team comprises Shravika Mittal and Brihi Joshi, a duo from New Delhi, India, in their sophomore year of College at IIIT Delhi. We are a dynamic duo that believes in learning and strengthening concepts while on the way to developing something.

Shravika is an Undergraduate majoring in Computer Science and Engineering. It's been hardly a year since she's got her hands dirty with programming, and it's already a vital part of her daily schedule. She brings out dedication and hard work in the team, excelling in whatever she does.

Brihi is majoring in Electronics and Communication Engineering and loves to mix and fiddle with creativity in code. She brings in the caffeine-induced, late night coding sessions along with fresh experiments in the team.

About our mentor - Kelsey

Kelsey is the team's mentor. She has been at Tessel since its beginning and is a member of the Tessel Project Steering Committee. All of the members of the Steering Committee are very excited to work with our RGSoC team– both to improve internal processes and mentoring capabilities, and to have the benefit of two full-time contributors building on Tessel!

What is RGSoC?

Rails Girls Summer of Code is a three month long award-winning global fellowship program aimed at bringing more diversity into Open Source.

It is about helping introduce newcomers to the world of programming and further expand their knowledge and skills, by contributing to a worthwhile Open Source project. The focus is not on producing highly sophisticated code, but rather participants learning transferable skills from their project work. Apart from experience in large-scale projects, RGSoC also inculcates community building by introducing its scholars to people who maintain these projects and other members of the community involved in it.

The RGSoC team structure goes like this : 1. The Students - A pair of Students who are enthusiastic to work on a chosen Open Source Project. 1. A Project Mentor - Usually an active contributor in the Open Source Project that is chosen. He/She is responsible for guiding the students in the project related tasks, features that are to be added and overall development of the project. 1. The Project Coaches - They are selected by the students during the time of the application and might be local (present in the same location as the students) or remote. They usually help the students in handling technical difficulties throughout the course of the program. 1. The Project Supervisor - They are the representatives of the RGSoC organisational team and guide the rest of the team with the procedures of the program.

RGSoC has both the sides - technical as well as social. Apart from working on the project, we even need to get involved in social meets such as a team call with the project supervisor, maintaining daily logs about what was achieved and what challenges we encountered that day, writing blog posts about our experiences etc.

This year, 20 teams were selected among which, 16 are Sponsored teams (We are one of them :smile:) and 4 are Volunteer teams.

What are we here for?

First and most important of all, to have fun! We are way too excited to start contributing and giving our best to this community.

Before the program started, we went through the Tessel repositories, got our development boards and familiarised ourselves with JavaScript. Soon after the program began, we sent in a few PRs to understand the contribution protocol of Tessel.

Soon as we complete the Tessel tutorials, we would be kicking off with an implementation of the 1-wire protocol in Tessel, which requires a lot of reading and working from our end. Then we are looking forward to move to a real world project, which can be solved using Tessel.

Before the beginning of RGSoC 17, we had formulated a plan to work on a project called Humanoid Arm Project (HAP). We would like to continue our work on this and bring it into realisation for solving some day to day problems using technology.

Having experienced a few IoT developmemt boards before, we cannot wait to delve deeper into the various functionalities and modules that Tessel has got to offer us. Also, Rust and JavaScript is a new experience for us. This would be the first time both of us are contributing to an Open Source project and we would like to learn the most we can from it.

We really hope RGSoC would help us transition from Team 276linesofCode to Tesselators so that we can be a part of this community even after RGSoC is over.

Here's to an exciting summer! :tada: :confetti_ball:

To show the picture in the page of the idea itself, open app/views/ideas/ and change When you upload a picture it doesn’t look nice because it only shows a path to the file, so let’s fix that. In your browser, add new idea with a picture. In your file it might actually say, just roll with it. Open app/models/idea.rb and under the line class Idea If you added this gem, please run in your terminal again: bundle If an error is shown that the uploader cannot be found also add the following line: gem 'net-ssh' In the terminal run: rails generate uploader Picture

Now we can generate the code for handling uploads. Open Gemfile in the project directory using your text editor and under the line gem 'sqlite3'Ĭoach: Explain what libraries are and why they are useful.

#Ruby on rails editor mac install

We need to install a piece of software to let us upload files in Rails. You can change the HTML & CSS further, adding to app/assets/stylesheets/application.css.Ĭoach: Talk a little about CSS and layouts. Nothing changed? It might be that you’re not connected to the wifi anymore. Now make sure you saved your files and refresh the browser to see what was changed. Open app/assets/stylesheets/application.css and at the bottom add footer Now let’s also change the styling of the ideas table. In the same file, under add The Idea App Ideas Let’s also add a navigation bar and footer to the layout. Open app/views/layouts/ in your text editor and above the line We’ll use the Twitter Bootstrap project to give us nicer styling really easily. What part of views is HTML and what is Embedded Ruby (ERB)? What is MVC and how does this relate to it? (Models and controllers are responsible for generating the HTML views.) DesignĬoach: Talk about the relationship between HTML and Rails. Codenvy) users need to append ‘/ideas’ to their preview url instead (see installation guide).Ĭlick around and test what you got by running these few command-line commands.

#Ruby on rails editor mac update

The scaffold creates new files in your project directory, but to get it to work properly we need to run a couple of other commands to update our database and restart the server. We’re going to use Rails’ scaffold functionality to generate a starting point that allows us to list, add, remove, edit, and view things in our case ideas.Ĭoach: What is Rails scaffolding? (Explain the command, the model name and related database table, naming conventions, attributes and types, etc.) What are migrations and why do you need them? rails generate scaffold idea name:string description:text picture:string What was generated? What does the server do? 2. Hit Ctrl+ C in the terminal to quit the server.Ĭoach: Explain what each command does. If you try running cd or another command it will not work. When the command prompt is not visible you cannot execute new commands. Your particular prompt may not have a $ symbol at the start of it. You do not need to type this symbol at the start of your commands. This is a convention that signifies the beginning of a line that needs to be entered into your Terminal / Command Prompt. Tip: Sometimes, both in this guide and other guides online, you will see commands written with the $ symbol at the start. Next, type these commands in the terminal: The terminal is usually at the bottom of your browser window. Codenvy): Log in to your account, start your project and switch to its IDE (see installation guide for details). Linux (Ubuntu/Fedora): Search for Terminal on the dash and click Terminal.Windows: Click Start and look for Command Prompt, then click Command Prompt with Ruby and Rails.macOS: Open Spotlight, type Terminal and click the Terminal application.We’re going to create a new Rails app called railsgirls.

Codenvy), you need to run the Linux commands even if you are on a Windows computer. In case you’re using a cloud service (e.g. If you’re having trouble check the Operating System switcher at the bottom of the commands.

#Ruby on rails editor mac mac

It is important that you select the instructions specific to your operating system - the commands you need to run on a Windows computer are slightly different to Mac or Linux. Need some reminders along the way? Check out this handy cheatsheet for Ruby, Rails, console etc. The icon next to the highlighted text will let you know which tool to use.įor example, if you see a terminal icon next to the highlight, like in the example above, you will need to copy the code and paste it into your Terminal (Mac) / Command Prompt (Windows). This means that the highlighted text is code and it probably needs to be either executed or inserted into one of your project files.

bundle thank-you - a donation system for ruby gems (and other package managers)

Nearly two years ago I’ve experimented with the idea of using bitcoin payments to tip open source projects. The idea is to analyze the dependencies of a project (by parsing the bundler Gemfile or npm package.json), extract donation information and send a “thank you” to these projects. 

Bitcoin is the perfect protocol for this. We can directly transfer value and do not need any intermediary. The projects and users do not have to agree on a service provider (like paypal or patreon), no signup es required. It is implemented on a protocol level and not as a tool/service.

As a demo I had created a small video showing the interaction and user flow:

How does it work?

Thanks to the nature of Bitcoin transactions it is possible (and even encouraged) to send one transaction to multiple recipients (outputs).

bundle-thankyou analyzes the dependencies from the package manger file (Gemfile, package.json,...) and gathers the recipient addresses from the locally installed gems - thus no need for a central directory or similar. Then we the user is asked how much should be paid and a single transaction is created and published. Done.

Obviously one could envision any fancy user interface and features to do that.

What the author needs to do:

The gem author adds a Bitcoin address to the gemspec (in the metadata field). That’s all the author has to do.

Because the address is in the gemspec we can be sure it is the address the author/maintainer wants the money to go to.

The author could also decide to dedicate the donations to somebody else. For example the rails gems could say thankyous should go to RailsGirls or similar projects.

What the user has to do:

Use this tool and basically run bundle thankyou and pay the desired amount. The amount will automatically be split among all the used gems.

With Bitcoin becoming more and more popular it also gets easier for people to start using it. And it would also be possible to create a service on top of this “standard” that allows users to pay with credit cards and handles the bitcoin payments.

Advantages

No signup whatsover

User and maintainer do not need to agree on a service (like paypal) to perform the transaction

No central directories and services

Based on existing tools (rubygems, npm, etc.)

Implemented on a "standard/protocol level" - additional service can be built and integrated. (like any existing bitcoin services, subscriptions, etc.)

Works internationally (not everybody has a credit card or can have a paypal account)

One transaction for multiple recipients

Usable in the moment where the user interacts with the gems (in the terminal running a bundle command)

Questions:

Why Bitcoin? It is probably the most broadly adopted solution. But any other cryptocurrency would be possible.

But I want to pay with credit card (or whatever else) Bitcoin is used as a method/"protocol" to transfer value.

We could provide additional service (for both user and project maintainer separately) to better fit their needs - for example different payment methods, subscriptions, etc. For example card payments could be easily possible with services like Coinbase.

But I want to receive payments on my credit card Again Bitcoin is the "protocol". There are already plenty tools out there that for example give you a visa/master card for spending the received bitcoins. Or bank transfers, or m-pesa mobile money payments, or....

A comment about money

I am very critical about the human perception of the "payment". I do not want it to feel like I've "paid" somebody for something. The tone/message is super important and it should not be "payment" but a way of saying "thank you"... thus bundle thankyou.
