Hodges' Model: Welcome to the QUAD

- a space to reflect on a HEALTH & SOCIAL CARE model with UNIVERSAL POTENTIAL, its development and the 'here and now'. Please check the archive links and blog labels for more information and previous posts. There are lots of plans, but I need some help. How long have we aspired to deliver holistic, integrated care in theory, policy and practice? Problems demand basic universal cognitive, educational and reflective tools for use by individuals, groups and the global health care community.

Ruby Holistic I

Using BBC BASIC many years ago as I recall I used an array to capture user input and then save this data to files.

I've just written a very simplistic Ruby program, not very Rubyesque in its code style to capture some data and store this in an array. There are many options here and not limited to:

declaring an array from the outset;
using a hash;
using MySQL.

At present it's just about getting used to the Ruby syntax. I have yet to write a class and methods of my own and resort to file handling. Looking forward to doing so. Not far into the Ruby on Rails book it was getting very interesting so I need to pick that up again too...!

Also need to get back to Drupal and the new versions of Brian's notes and my introduction to the model and website. How many themes and modules are Drupal 6 compatible now? It's the NW England Drupal user group meeting again on the 20th in Manchester.
