Deploying Rails to Linode

Installing Ruby Enterprise Edition, Apache, MySQL, and Passenger for deploying Rails 3.0 applications.

Get a Linode, and set it up with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS so that you have till April 2013 to get updates. Once the Linode is formatted, boot it and continue on.

Set up an 'A' record in your DNS, pointing to the IP of your Linode. I'm using demo.napcs.com here.

Initial setup

Getting Started with NPM (as a developer)

As easy as 1, 2, 3!

Jul 27, 2021 add private scopes
Jul 22, 2021 add dist tags
Jun 20, 2021 update for --access=public
Sep 07, 2020 update docs for npm version

Share Counts

I have always struggled with getting all the various share buttons from Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, Pinterest, etc to align correctly and to not look like a tacky explosion of buttons. Seeing a number of sites rolling their own share buttons with counts, for example The Next Web I decided to look into the various APIs on how to simply return the share count.

If you want to roll up all of these into a single jQuery plugin check out Sharrre

Many of these API calls and methods are undocumented, so anticipate that they will change in the future. Also, if you are planning on rolling these out across a site I would recommend creating a simple endpoint that periodically caches results from all of the APIs so that you are not overloading the services will requests.

Displaying a List of Items

If you need to enumerate over a list of objects, use Handlebar's {{#each}} helper:

<ul>
  {{#each people}}
    <li>Hello, {{name}}!</li>
  {{/each}}
</ul>

I. Create a Middleman project with middleman-ember-template

$ middleman init hello --template=ember

II. Install ember.js package

$ bower install ember

	$sprites: sprite-map("sprites/*.png");
	$sprites-retina: sprite-map("sprites-retina/*.png");

	@mixin sprite-background($name) {
	background-image: sprite-url($sprites);
	background-position: sprite-position($sprites, $name);
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
	display: block;
	height: image-height(sprite-file($sprites, $name));
	width: image-width(sprite-file($sprites, $name));
