Code highlighting for Keynote presentations

Step 0:

Get Homebrew installed on your mac if you don't already have it

Step 1:

Install highlight. "brew install highlight". (This brings down Lua and Boost as well)

Step 2:

Installing Ruby 2.0.0-preview1 with RVM on OS X
# First, make sure that you have the most recent rvm. Several bugs with 2.0.0-preview1
# have recently been fixed.
#
# Second, the openssl that comes with MacOS is too old for Ruby 2.0. You need to install
# a newer one with homebrew or the rvm pkg command.
# Option 1, with homebrew openssl:
brew update
brew install openssl

Can you help me understand the benefit of require.js?

I'm having trouble understanding the benefit of require.js. Can you help me out? I imagine other developers have a similar interest.

From Require.js - Why AMD:

The AMD format comes from wanting a module format that was better than today's "write a bunch of script tags with implicit dependencies that you have to manually order"

I don't quite understand why this methodology is so bad. The difficult part is that you have to manually order dependencies. But the benefit is that you don't have an additional layer of abstraction.

A .powrc file which works with RVM's .rvmrc or .ruby-version (+ .ruby-gemset) configuration files.
if [ -f "$rvm_path/scripts/rvm" ]; then
source "$rvm_path/scripts/rvm"
if [ -f ".rvmrc" ]; then
source ".rvmrc"
fi
if [ -f ".ruby-version" ]; then
rvm use `cat .ruby-version`
