New project (may 5-9)

For this week, because Thrill jockey is on stand by I worked into a new project called Starprog, in this one, I’m working into the blackjack game. In this I started from the basics, creating the models, relations and go on from there. In this case I started testing everything, now I’m learning a lot about tests and its benefits.

I did the card assignment, make the view  work with the new code, update the bet quantity, and the checking if there is a winner, when is a blackjack. I need to do test to part of the code that was already there, and some actions on blackjack controller.

On eventwax, I fixed the 2 issues that were found about the ckeditor implementation. Also I did tests which threw some styles issues on IE’s browsers. So  I spent the whole day doing that. At the end of the day I was checking how formtastic works, that is a tool to generate forms, and it is used on this site. But after all, a coworker told me that it would be better if for this story I get rid of this, because formtastic cant be adapted to much in the way that in rails there is the phrase “convention over configuration”, so he told me that it would be faster, and easier to do it in a “manual” way.
