My first APPLICATION /MVC
I was excited to finally make my first application, I been waiting for this moment for years! I had a lot of ideas of things that could be automated, I decided to create an Open House application because of a personal need: as new real estate agent, during Open house, I had to make guests sign, in order to build my pipeline of future clients. However for practical reasons, my tools were limited, I had the choice between a tablet/phone and a signing sheet, I quickly give up on the signing sheet when I realized that I wasn’t able to read people’s writing, most of the time.
Therefore I used a free application that I found on the app store , unfortunately, it did not have all the labels and forms that I needed, the application had a lot of bugs, I was surprised to not be able to found a better free resource on the market yet…
When I found out that I had to create an app using Sinatra gem I thought of finally making my open house signing sheet MVC,that stand for Models, view, crontroller.

The struggle of the first project
The CLI project is my first individual project, the goal was to scrape an API I and create a two layers search CLI app At first, it seems simple enough the coach tutorial was clear and well explained. However, as I start the project, I quickly realized it wasn’t ’t that simple …. I struggle in every step making trivial mistakes that got me stuck for days…. My first issue was with setting up the sandbox for my application and running it in a new repository, after founding tutorial I was finally able to start my project. My second issue was to found an API without a key and authentification, or to figure how to hide in my environment and access this information for future users without reveling it…. After a lot of struggle, I decided to avoid Keys at all cost for my first project even though I was starting to understand how to do and found some tools like “postman” last but not least finally start my project and write the code, here again, I struggle with files at the wrong place, missing karma and so on….. After days of hard work, I finally achieve my first project and now can’t wait to use my new power on a new personal project. So I guess most of us will struggle but it is a part of the process, the important is to work harder and not give up!
