The introduction to Reactive Programming you've been missing

This tutorial as a series of videos

If you prefer to watch video tutorials with live-coding, then check out this series I recorded with the same contents as in this article: Egghead.io - Introduction to Reactive Programming.

Make it real

Ideas are cheap. Make a prototype, sketch a CLI session, draw a wireframe. Discuss around concrete examples, not hand-waving abstractions. Don't say you did something, provide a URL that proves it.

Ship it

Nothing is real until it's being used by a real user. This doesn't mean you make a prototype in the morning and blog about it in the evening. It means you find one person you believe your product will help and try to get them to use it.

Do it with style

Test Twitter Flight components with Jasmine on Ruby on Rails

Twitter Flight is great framework for organizing frontend codebase. It make it more productive to work with and easier to test. However, it lacks in support for testing its modules. Moreover, there is not many guidance available on the web yet since it is fairly new.

This post explains how I setted up both in-browser and headless jasmine test for Twitter flight components used in Rails app.

Followings are used for the setup:

Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = [email protected]:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:

Why use Pants for Python development?

Pants makes the manipulation and distribution of hermetically sealed Python environments

	#!/bin/sh
	if [ "master" = "$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)" ] ; then
	echo "\033[1;31mYou may not shove master\033[0m"
	exit 1;
	fi

	exec git push --force origin HEAD

	// Pop quiz!
	// 1. What will x and y be in this code?

	(function() {

	var x = 5;
	var y = 10;
	var coordinates = x, y;
	console.log('First');
	console.log(x);
