When should you use DateTime and when should you use Time?

It's a common misconception that [William Shakespeare][1] and [Miguel de Cervantes][2] died on the same day in history - so much so that UNESCO named April 23 as [World Book Day because of this fact][3]. However because England hadn't yet adopted [Gregorian Calendar Reform][4] (and wouldn't until [1752][5]) their deaths are actually 10 days apart. Since Ruby's Time class implements a [proleptic Gregorian calendar][6] and has no concept of calendar reform then there's no way to express this. This is where DateTime steps in:

>> shakespeare = DateTime.iso8601('1616-04-23', Date::ENGLAND)
=> Tue, 23 Apr 1616 00:00:00 +0000
>> cervantes = DateTime.iso8601('1616-04-23', Date::ITALY)
=> Sat, 23 Apr 1616 00:00:00 +0000

Remember, it's all just text.

FoldingText does some neat things, but in the end you are just typing. If you know how to type, you already know most of what you need to effectively use FoldingText.

Inquiries Walkthrough

We're asked to build an application that allows a user to submit inquiries. The user stories come in two parts. In the first part, we create a simple form with text inputs to capture an inquiry. In the second part, we're asked to categorize the inquiries that are submitted.

We will build to the first story and then turn our attention to the second once our tests are passing.

Command P || Command T

Press Command + T or Command + P, type in the name of the file you wish to access (fuzzy finder), and, without even pressing Enter, you’ll instantly be transported to that file.

Shift Command P

We can use Sublime’s command palette by accessing the Tools menu, or by pressing Shift + Command + P, on the Mac.

Whether you need to visit a Preferences page, or paste in a snippet, all of that can be accomplished here.
