Step 0:

Get Homebrew installed on your mac if you don't already have it

Step 1:

Install highlight. "brew install highlight". (This brings down Lua and Boost as well)

Ruby single quotes vs. double quotes

'This is a string of substantial length. I doubt you will have many string
literals in your code that are longer than this, but if there are actually
costs to parsing double quoted strings this should exacerbate that.'

Code School Screencasting Framework

Screencasting Framework

The following document is a written account of the Code School screencasting framework. It should be used as a reference of the accompanying screencast on the topic.

Why you should care about screencasting?

You're probably aren't going to take the time to read this document if you're not interested, but there are a lot of nice side effects caused by learning how to create quality screencasts.

  1. Communicating more effectively - At Envy Labs we produce screencasts for our clients all the time. Whether it's demoing a new feature or for a presentation for an invester, they're often much more effective and pleasent than a phone call or screen sharing.

Action Mailbox: The Missing Manual

This is all you really need to know in order to make Action Mailbox work in development.

  1. Fire up ngrok http 3000 and make note of your subdomain for steps 3 and 8.
  2. Create a Mailgun account because they offer sandbox addresses; grab your domain from the Dashboard.
  3. Go into Receiving and create a catch-all route pointing to: https://XXX.ngrok.io/rails/action_mailbox/mailgun/inbound_emails/mime
  4. Add your Mailgun API key to your credentials:
action_mailbox:
 mailgun_api_key: API KEY HERE

Futurism

There's one thing that I felt was missing from the CableReady ecosystem and should be doable: lazy loading

I introduce:

Futurism

with a helper in your template
