- I got through setting up users with the devise gem and migrating everything successfully to Heroku.
- I styled the new user sign up and log in pages using Bootstrap 3.
- I then worked on generating the pin scaffold and connecting pins to users.
- I set up user authorizations so pins couldn't be deleted or changed by anyone other than the user that set them up. And pins can only be seen by logged in users.
- I installed the Paperclip gem and added the ability to upload and edit images on the pins.
- Whew.
I'm on Day 25 of the curriculum, ~72% through the course. Feeling really good with my progress. I'm not just trying to blast through the videos and mindlessly do the actions. I am taking thorough notes and really trying to understand everything. I am a little shaky on understanding the migrations (how do we know what to type into those exactly to get the desired elements added to our database correctly?) and the methods in the controllers, but I know the more I do it, the more I'll understand.
Here's how it is shaping up...

Not sure how much I will work on it this weekend. I am anxious to continue, but also like to spend time with my partner. I may be away most of tomorrow on a trip and Sunday is the RailsGirls meetup.
