Inspiration: What's that & doing?

Before I get started, the inspiration behind this was a piece of code written to solve a Ruby exercise: Write a method reverse_words which takes a sentence as a string and reverse each word in it.

The solution that set me on a journey of diving deeper into closures was this one, by Daniela Grossman:

	def reverse_words(str)
 str.split(' ').map(&:reverse).join(' ')

1. For the first step, there are two options. Choose option A if you plan on developing for iOS. Choose option B to avoid installing several GB of unnecessary software.

   a. Install Xcode 4.5 (it can be found in the App Store)

In Xcode preferences go to the "Downloads" tab and under "Components" push the "Install" button next to "Command Line Tools"  (StackOverflow)

b. Install [Command Line Tools](https://developer.apple.com/downloads) for Xcode 4.5 separately)
 *Note: You will need an Apple ID for downloading Command Line 	Tools*

2. Install XQuartz

Structure of the JSON response from SuperFeedr

When working with the SuperFeedr REST API it is important to understand the notifications that SuperFeedr will send to your server.

I am using th JSON response here, as the format is familiar and easy to parse using the Ruby API.

Receiving feed updates

After successfully subscribing to a feed, SuperFeedr will send notifications to the callback URI specified during the subscription process.
