I did some of the Test First Ruby portion of the prep-work as part of preparing for my second coding test (parts 10, 11, 12, and 14). I went ahead and cranked out the rest of the required problems (1-9). Took me about 2 hours.
Mostly stuff I already knew. I had to check Ruby docs here and there (String#rjust for 09_timer, for example). The ones that gave me a little bit of trouble were 08_hello_friend and 06_performance_monitor. For 06, I initially had some trouble groking what the program was supposed to do, and I also had to look at through the docs for Time to find what I needed (Time::now). For 08 I had to quickly google how to remind myself about how to do the *params for optional parameters; I'm pretty sure that was in one of the tutorials I did, but I'd forgotten. Anyway, I added an Anki card for that.
