# Author: Pieter Noordhuis
# Description: Simple demo to showcase Redis PubSub with EventMachine
#
# Update 7 Oct 2010:
# - This example does *not* appear to work with Chrome >=6.0. Apparently,
# the WebSocket protocol implementation in the cramp gem does not work
# well with Chrome's (newer) WebSocket implementation.
#
# Requirements:
# - rubygems: eventmachine, thin, cramp, sinatra, yajl-ruby

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.

A cheap knock off of the default validates_length_of validator, but checks the filesize of a Carrierwave attachment

Note that this validation runs both after the file is uploaded and after CarrierWave has processed the image. If your base uploader includes a filter to resize the image then the validation will be run against the resized image, not the original one that was uploaded. If this causes a problem for you, then you should avoid using a resizing filter on the base uploader and put any specific size requirements in a version instead.

So instead of this:

require 'carrierwave/processing/mini_magick'
