Core Principals

• Read lots of code.
• Write lots of code.
• Don’t be afraid to throw it away.
• Don’t be afraid to share it.
• Find your happy place writing tests.
  • You’ll probably spend more time writing tests and debugging than writing code. Embrace this. Make it a key part of your workflow.
  • Tests are one of the first things I read in a module. That and the example(s). Probably before API docs.
• Don’t know where to start. Write some tests for a module you like. This benefits everyone.

Make it real

Ideas are cheap. Make a prototype, sketch a CLI session, draw a wireframe. Discuss around concrete examples, not hand-waving abstractions. Don't say you did something, provide a URL that proves it.

Ship it

Nothing is real until it's being used by a real user. This doesn't mean you make a prototype in the morning and blog about it in the evening. It means you find one person you believe your product will help and try to get them to use it.

Do it with style

  if (typeof f !== 'function' ||
      toString.call(args) !== '[object Array]') {
    throw new Error('Invalid parameters');
    return;
  }

  if (typeof binding !== 'object') {
    binding = this;
  }

// grab your file object from a file input
$('#fileInput').change(function () {
