Instructions

To capture the video (filesize: 19MB), using the free "QuickTime Player" application:

; a quick attempt at doing the same thing in clojure could for example something like

(defpartial input [name]
    [:tr
        [:td
            [:input {:name name}]]])

(defpartial edit-task-form [& inputs]
    [:div.generic.lightbox
        [:table

GitHub Javascript Strategy

Unless otherwise necessary (such as mobile development), the GitHub javascript codebase is based off jQuery. You can safely assume it will be included on every page.

File naming

• All jquery plugins should be prefixed with jquery, such as jquery.facebox
• All github-specific jquery plugins should be prefixed with jquery.github. Like jquery.github.repo_list.js
• All page-specific files (that only run on ONE page) should be prefixed with page. page.billing.js

require File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/spec_helper')

describe 'Machinist' do
  models = Dir[File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../app/models/*.rb')].
    map{|file| File.basename(file, '.rb') } - %w{mailer}

  models.map{ |model| model.classify.constantize }.each do |model|
    it "should have a blueprint for the #{model} model" do
      model.make.should be_instance_of(model)
    end
