I’m not here to tell you about me though
Illustration from: http://www.harpercollinschildrens.com/kids/gamesandcontests/features/amelia/ One Ring inscription by Sauron, Mt Doom
any current or former children in the audience?
Meet Amelia Bedelia Illustration from: “Calling Doctor Amelia Bedelia”
idiom > sum of its parts
“Take a hike!”
None
Amelia Does Her Best Illustration from: “Merry Christmas, Amelia Bedelia”
Sound Familiar?

Amelia Bedelia Learns to Code by: Kylie Stradley illustrations by:
San Smith inspired by: Peggy & Herman Parish
01101000 01101001 Nice to meet you :] “Talking to a
computer? That sounds like fun!”
None
“_WHY Ruby? _WHY not Ruby?”
“This Ruby on Rails stuff is easy!”
So what does Amelia do?
Amelia edits the db/schema.rb
Oh no!
the Rails Scaffold covers most things
So what does Amelia do?
Amelia uses Rails Scaffold for everything
Not so fast! Got it!
I want to write Rails like the designers intended
So what does Amelia do?
Writing Rails like DHH would
Not so fast! Got it!
“I need to make a lot of routes”
So what does Amelia do?
Amelia rakes the routes
rake != activate routes != migrations
“These gems are pretty handy!”
So what does Amelia do?
Carrie & Fred say, “Put a gem on it!”
Not so fast! Got it!
“I know what do with params in a Rails app”
So what does Amelia do?
Amelia adds the value to the params hash
parameters != params oops!
“I’ve made that mistake with dates before too”
So what does Amelia do?
Amelia uses DateTime when she needs dates, even for cakes!
The End
what a nice story, right?
it’s more like this: you never really stop making mistakes
I certainly haven’t
these things happen
beginners make a lot of mistakes
and that’s okay
advanced developers make a lot of mistakes
and that’s okay, too
what is important is that we share our mistakes
you never really stop making mistakes
a place that’s safe to make mistakes is a place
that’s safe to learn
