Current as of 9front-5966.df2c352ae695
This is a collection of notes on how to complete tasks I've found myself commonly performing while using 9front.
Note that most of what is here is straight from various parts of the 9front FQA, just ordered differently. If not from the FQA, I'll provide the source under the header for the section.
As I'm in the process of learning Plan 9/9front, feel free to comment with suggestions or corrections.
I have moved this over to the Tech Interview Cheat Sheet Repo and has been expanded and even has code challenges you can run and practice against!

| Nitty Gritty Gameboy Cycle Timing | |

| A document about the down and dirty timing of the Gameboy's video hardware. | |

Many programming languages, including Ruby, have native boolean (true and false) data types. In Ruby they're called true and false. In Python, for example, they're written as True and False. But oftentimes we want to use a non-boolean value (integers, strings, arrays, etc.) in a boolean context (if statement, &&, ||, etc.).
This outlines how this works in Ruby, with some basic examples from Python and JavaScript, too. The idea is much more general than any of these specific languages, though. It's really a question of how the people designing a programming language wants booleans and conditionals to work.
