UW Ruby Blog

For week 6, 7, 8, and 9, everyone should work on their approved projects. Each week (Friday night by midnight) please email Ryan and I with either a repository where we can find your project or a zip/gem of your project.

We would also like you to write a little about what you accomplished each week, along with something new that you learned while working on your project.

We will be grading you on your productivity (how much you’ve accomplished during the week), tests, code cleanliness, and the ever illusive goal of doing the simplest thing possible to get the job done.

Here are your slides for week 6.

Yay! Slides!

Hello everyone, here are your week 4 slides.

This week, your homework will be to write a program similar to Rake. Your program must deal with tasks and dependencies.

Here are the Phase 1 requirements:

• tasks - take a block and can execute it
• run outputs task execution including nesting of dependencies
• tasks are executed via tests/code. cmdline interface extra credit.
• dependencies amongst tasks - deps must run first
• dependencies are intellegently run, they won’t re-execute if met.
• declaration order doesn’t matter - aka resolve dependencies late.
• architect this so it can be made multithreaded later
• This will be TDD from the ground up with good coverage.

Here is an example task recipe w/ the basic public API needed:

require 'worker_bee'


WorkerBee.recipe do
  work :sammich, :meat, :bread do
    puts "** sammich!"
  end

work :meat, :clean do
    puts "** meat"
  end

work :bread, :clean do
    puts "** bread"
  end

work :clean do
    puts "** cleaning!"
  end
end

WorkerBee.run :sammich

Executing this should output:

running sammich
  running meat
    running clean
** cleaning!
** meat
  running bread
    not running clean - already met depnedency
** bread
** sammich!

When building your project use “sow”. Just execute:

$ sow WorkerBee

Fill out the project with tests, and make it go.
