I'm kinda stumped with the Learn Ruby Track address book program.

I'm new to coding and dove into Ruby and then planning on Rails. Currently still on the Learn Ruby Track but kinda unsure about the address book program. I passed all the quizzes thus far but feel nowhere confident I can build the address book program without looking at my notes.

Should I keep going since I do understand everything when reading the code or only move ahead once I can build the program without any issues and peeking at my notes.

Not sure if I'm too hard on myself from the get go ..

You should just tryout the ruby on rails framework. Get like a handle of mvc. Plus you'll see how mvc works, tdd, and databases. CRUD.

Most of the time your just grabbing the database array of pictures or text and putting back onto the view (the template). We use models (script to interact the database). Routes(/pretty_folders_)

Yeah I would review it. If not I would try also the javascript track. Your going to have to deal with javascript sooner or later because of ajax. LOLs.

Thanks Jason. Just feel like I need to know we erything 100 % before I progress to another section. I have about an hour left on the Learn Ruby Track then I'm going to start Rails. Once done there I'm taking the JavaScript track.
