I’m frustrated right now. I’ve been looking for someone to write about a technology that tons of people have no doubt used and am coming up short. Really, this is my own fault, because I was hoping I’d find someone who wasn’t a white male to address the topic. There’s nothing wrong with a white male addressing the topic, but I’ve been recommending a lot of white males to write about technologies and I was hoping to put my money where my mouth is in terms of my hopes for the diversity of the field in which I work.

I checked a bunch of related repos on GitHub and found that the maintainers were white guys and the committers were white guys and the people filing issues were white guys. So I checked the Following lists of related Twitter accounts and found.. more white guys. The few women I found either didn’t blog or had Tumblrs full of inspirational quotes and cupcake photos and shit. (Which is fine. But not what I happened to be looking for an expert on.)

And so this is how I became frustrated, because I d

This will enable Sass+Compass with LiveReload through Guard. (Guard screen cast)

You will also need a browser component to communicate with LiveReload. (browser extension, livereload.js)

If you prefer going through a GUI, that option is available. The following instructions is specific to Mac OS X and it works through the command line.

Note that this is not specific to Rails projects. This can work for any standalone front-end project.

Susy 0.9 Tutorial

See the official Susy site for 1.0 documentation.

For this tutorial I'm assuming you are already comfortable with CSS, Sass (I'll use the SCSS syntax) and Compass. Please get set up with each one of those before attempting to use Susy. Sass and Compass both have their own setup instructions and tutorials that you can use.

There is also reference documentation in the works.

Visa requirements for UK conferences.

First you'll want to check if you need a visa to enter the UK.

• Nationals of the EU, Switzerland, and EEA countries will not need a visa, and are free to work and conduct business in the UK.
• Nationals from some designated countries such as USA may travel for tourist or business purposes under a visa exemption. The link above will detail what documents you need to provide in order to travel under a visa exemption.
• Other nationals will need a visa.

The rules for allowable business travel under a visa exemption are covered by the same rules as those travelling under a vistor visa. If you will be travelling under a visa-exemption and the conference is covering your costs in any way you should make sure to read the relevant section below.
