Here are some resouces to follow up on regarding institutional racism, gentrification, and displacement. This is a living document and I'd love to hear your suggestions for other resources! Go ahead and make a pull request, or reply in a comment if you've got an idea for a contribution.

I'll be linking the talk here once it's uploaded someplace.

Flexibility

Part of why we want to separate code into separate classes and modules is that it keeps things flexible. For example, let's say that there is no GothamCrimeFigher class and there is only a Human class. If we wanted to include the UtilityBelt module in the human class we would be giving all humans utility belts. While this would be fantastic, it is unnecessary. Therefore, we abstract out the functionality that is not shared across all of humanity into a subclass that we can change as we see fit

Modules vs Classes

  if !git_present
    Dir.chdir(File.expand_path("..", Dir.pwd))
    find_git_root(Dir.pwd)
  end
  p 'found git'

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

Gems

• Bundler - Bundler maintains a consistent environment for ruby applications. It tracks an application's code and the rubygems it needs to run, so that an application will always have the exact gems (and versions) that it needs to run.
• rabl - General ruby templating with json, bson, xml, plist and msgpack support
• Thin - Very fast and lightweight Ruby web server
• Unicorn - Unicorn is an HTTP server for Rack applications designed to only serve fast clients on low-latency, high-bandwidth connections and take advantage of features in Unix/Unix-like kernels.
• SimpleCov - SimpleCov is a code coverage analysis tool for Ruby 1.9.
• Zeus - Zeus preloads your Rails app so that your normal development tasks such as console, server, generate, and specs/tests take less than one second.
• [factory_girl](h
