###1. Create A Droplet In A Digital Ocean

  • Log in to Digital Ocean
  • Enter hostname - this should be something useful to you, maybe your Appname?
  • Select a 1gb / 1cpu Droplet
  • Use Ubuntu 12.0.4
  • Do not use ssh keys!

setting up fonts in rails 4

It's Easy!

  1. Put this in your application.rb

     config.assets.paths << Rails.root.join('app', 'assets', 'fonts')
 config.assets.precompile += %w( .svg .eot .woff .ttf )

  2. Reboot your server!

  3. Create a fonts.scss file in assets/stylesheets.

  4. Set up your font-face thusly. Pay extra attention to punctuation - everything must appear exactly as it does in the file system.

Here are some things you can do with Gists in GistBox.
// Use Gists to store code you would like to remember later on
console.log(window); // log the "window" object to the console

an attempt to break down the javascript work in class into some logical steps.

My Javascript Logic Recipie

I have found that the Javascript work we have done so far lends itself to encapsulate in logical steps. When starting new javascript work, here is the little cookbook/recipie I follow. Here are my thoughts using TicTacToe and PixArt as examples.

1) Datamodeling

I am going to define the object as the game. So that I can say myGame = new TicTacToe();

My game needs a board. It needs players, but X always goes first. And the game is either won or unwon but when it starts, there is no winner. I think my game should have how many moves have been played (but this could also be figured out by inspecting the board).

The actions I will have are only two: make a move, and see if someone has won.

a script to build the sinatra skeleton and minimal config of files. missing sinatra reloader and ability to set path. chmod 755 to make executable - and also i think it has to be in the path where you're building, i don't know how it would work to make it part of your bin folder.
#!/bin/sh
mkdir app
cd app
mkdir public
mkdir views
touch server.rb
echo "require 'pry' \n require 'sinatra' \n \n get '/' do \n erb :index \n end \n" >> server.rb
cd public
