My notes on creating a Rails 4.2 app for hosting on Heroku. With RSpec and Postgresql.

# Install RVM, Ruby and Bundler
...

# Install Rails
gem install rails --no-ri --no-rdoc

# Create new app without Test::Unit, and for Postgresql (for Heroku)

rails new MYAPP --skip-test-unit --database=postgresql

Download latest Raspbian and write to SD card

# identify the disk (not partition) of your SD card. e.g. disk4 (not disk4s1)
diskutil list
diskutil unmountDisk /dev/<disk# from diskutil>   # e.g. diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk4
sudo dd bs=1m if=<your image file>.img of=/dev/<disk# from diskutil>
# e.g. sudo dd bs=1m if=2012-12-16-wheezy-raspbian.img of=/dev/disk4
(This will take a few minutes)

Boot Raspberry PI and install a Bonjour client

Integrating Git on Mac OSX with Microsoft TFS on Windows

Here's an experiment to work locally on a Mac using Git and my editor of choice -- while integrating well with Microsoft TFS which houses company-wide code.

If you want to work completely in Windows see:

	buf, bodyErr := ioutil.ReadAll(r.Body)
	if bodyErr != nil {
	log.Print("bodyErr ", bodyErr.Error())
	http.Error(w, bodyErr.Error(), http.StatusInternalServerError)
	return
	}

	rdr1 := ioutil.NopCloser(bytes.NewBuffer(buf))
	rdr2 := ioutil.NopCloser(bytes.NewBuffer(buf))
	log.Printf("BODY: %q", rdr1)

	# various Yeoman generators (generator-webapp) are failing due to using npm 2.x beta with errors
	# like "grunt 1.4.x" peer dependency not met (when in fact the dependency is met).

	# fix for me was to upgrade node, but install npm separately, since upgrading node automatically installs latest npm which is 2.x

	# to install latest node
	brew update
	brew install node --without-npm

	# to install latest 1.x branch of npm
