| Aug 2, 2016 at 18:25 | comment | added | WelshGandalf | Thanks for the extra comments. I almost had 1 right (I just missed a tick box). Just to mention #9, thanks especially for this, when I wrote it I hated it but I couldn't think of another way even though I knew there was probably a relatively simple clean solution. I have some extensions I'm going to work on, this will give me a solid well-designed base to work from and on. | |

@WelshGandalf (cont'd) 3. Well, true it's not a video player. Still, client is more accurate than data so some variation on that might work. 6. Yeah, I imagine you might want to make those values configurable - but cross that bridge when you come to it. When you do, I'd advise using getter methods for the values rather than "raw" instance vars. Rely on the abstraction/indirection of a method, rather than the concrete value. This makes your code more flexible.

Ah, right. I think you may have set your editor to display tabs as 2 spaces wide - but it's still writing tab characters (\t). Ruby, however, conventionally uses two spaces - as in two individual space characters - instead of tab characters. You should be able to configure your editor to use "soft tabs", so that when you press the tab key, it actually types spaces instead of a tab character (and treats those two spaces as a single thing, so deleting works normally etc.)

I agree mostly, but iplayer client isn't the best name either as you can't actually play iplayer programmes through it, 6. they can be different values and eventually I will initialise them when calling the class rather than setting them to fixed values. I suppose therefore I agree with the spirit of everything you say if not the specifics :) I think 4,5,8,9 and 10 are the ones that will help me improve the most (I've never come across a hash as a parameter before) | |
