HeavyCon!

This is a not-official (since I am not either Edward nor Amanda ;) ) mini-guide to HeavyCon. If you have any questions that need to be addressed in some official capacity (such as about registration or things like that), you'll definitely want to contact Edward & Amanda (hereafter referred to as E&A) for a clear answer.

The short tips list

• stay at the con hotel so you can game more and to help E&A with keeping the con going
• make sure someone is bringing specific games you want to play
• schedule some games, but don't over-plan or over-commit
• be nice while at the con (and preferably even when you're not)

Programming Pretty Good Practices

• Write code that works, most of the time at least.
• Keep documentation up-to-date unless no one's going to read it anyway.

class DataHolder
  class << self
    attr_accessor :data1, :data2
    def use_data
      puts "I have #{data1} and #{data2}"
    end
  end
end

RubyMotion cheat sheet

Simulator/Debugger REPL:

1. To select an interface element, hold command and click on it (must start simulator via RubyMotion for this to work)

2. To start a new repl session in a new context, use the repl() function (ie: repl(someObject) )

3. You can see how many sessions you have with sessions() function; you can exit a REPL session with quit or exit functions
