Forecasting Data

#416 Aug 27, 2023 pro

In this episode, we will look at a date range of data and build predictions of what future values will be. However, we won't be reaching for any 3rd party APIs, but instead use statistical models to learn from our data to predict the future dates. We'll also display out our data on a table and plot it to a graph.

Infinite Scrolling with Hotwire

#338 Feb 27, 2022 pro

In this episode, we have a look at two different approaches for implementing an infinite scrolling feature within a Ruby on Rails application with Hotwire. The first method will use a Stimulus Controller to handle AJAX requests back to the Rails application. The second approach will not use any external library, other than Hotwire, nor any javascript to accomplish the infinite scrolling.
