# This module should be used for situations where enumerating over constant values is desired.
# This facilitates keeping the code DRY by keeping the constant values defined in one place, and 
# still having the ability to enumerate over them wherever they are needed.
#
# Example use cases:
#
# * defining constants for possible field values in an AR object and including this module to 
#   provide access to the values in a 'validates_inclusion_of' validation
# * defining constants for select box values in a view and including this module to allow them to be
#   enumerated over in the select tag

My culerity/cucumber tests were running at 30 minutes, now just six.  JRuby was limiting the allocated memory to 512mb (or something).  I increased this to a gigabyte and now everything flies:

>> JRUBY_INVOCATION="jruby -J-Xmx1024m" cucumber

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.
