In this course the we were trying a new technology called Rails. We were trying to make a photo sharing
web site that would allow users to make albums, upload pictures, and search pictures. The purpose was
for the student to get web application programming experience.
In this course I learned Ruby. That was the coding language that we were using. It is very similar to the likes
of visual basic and C++. However I did not get a firm grasp on this language. I think the whole class felt the
same way. We never ended up finishing the photo site, but were able to get some features working.
I have not applied these skills. I really would have liked to learn PHP. That would have been much more useful.
Since then I have taken it on my own to learn a little about PHP. Right now I am working with forms. PHP is a
very useful technology that many organizations are using.
