# search and replace with backup
# with -i it specifies a backup. So the file will be copied from myfile.txt to myfile.txt.bak before replacing any text.
# the * at the end is the filename. It can be myfile.* or *.txt or * or myfile.txt or whatever.

# mac version
sed -i .bak 's/hello/gbye/g' *
# linux version
sed -ibak 's/hello/gbye/g' *
# or just
sed 's/hello/gbye/g' *

View Presenter pros/cons

Pros	Cons
👍 Makes large views readable as to what they contain	👎 If you want to change text and it's all in one view, just ctrl-f for it and change the text. If it's in sub-views, you first have to find which view fragment it resides in before you change it. The frustration of this IMHO outweighs the simplicity of knowing what's going on in the master view
👍 Allows you to reuse sections of code with different parameters (this is only helpful if you plan on reusing the abstracted code)	👎 When you abstract segments that are only being used in one place, it adds unnecessary complexity and processing requirements.
	👎 Dealing with an extra closing div is a nightmare. Now you have to go through each @included file and find the extra .
	👎 Indentation adjustment is a pain in the ass because you have to match child file indentation to be one more than the parent

Libraries

• jQuery - The de-facto library for the modern age. It makes things like HTML document traversal and manipulation, event handling, animation, and Ajax much simpler with an easy-to-use API that works across a multitude of browsers.
• Backbone - Backbone.js gives structure to web applications by providing models with key-value binding and custom events, collections with a rich API of enumerable functions, views with declarative event handling, and connects it all to your existing API over a RESTful JSON interface.
• AngularJS - Conventions based MVC framework for HTML5 apps.
• Underscore - Underscore is a utility-belt library for JavaScript that provides a lot of the functional programming support that you would expect in Prototype.js (or Ruby), but without extending any of the built-in JavaScript objects.
• lawnchair - Key/value store adapter for indexdb, localStorage
