Things to do in Copenhagen

I get asked for recommendations for Copenhagen often enough, that this little document is now a thing.

Please give back by contributing to it.

General

Visit Copenhagen
CopenhagenCard - this seems like a good deal. Put it on smartphone, and have it ready on * arrival... there's a list of attractions included
Arken - Museum of modern art

Frontend Curriculum

When I am king™, this will be curriculum for frontend developers.

If everyone would read these books, many discussions could be avoided, and the ones we would have would be a lot more interesting.

How to add an image to a gist

Create a gist if you haven't already.

Clone your gist:

# make sure to replace `<hash>` with your gist's hash
git clone https://gist.github.com/<hash>.git # with https
git clone [email protected]:<hash>.git     # or with ssh

	#!/bin/bash

	# This is a very naive script, it doesn't do grouping and returns all branches
	# I only really care about branches that have not seen commits in two months
	#
	# I am hoping to find some time to write a tool that can output these reports for me
	# In the meantime, I am using this

	echo "Merged branches"
	for branch in `git branch -r --merged \| grep -v HEAD`;do echo -e `git log --no-merges -n 1 --format="%ci, %cr, %an, %ae, " $branch \| head -n 1` \\t$branch; done \| sort -r

	var o = {hello:'world', greetings: ['one', 'two', 'three']};
	undefined

	// regular, difficult to read for large objects
	JSON.stringify(o);
	"{"hello":"world","greetings":["one","two","three"]}"

	// presto!
	JSON.stringify(o, '', ' ');
	"{

	#!/bin/bash

	# if there are no staged changes, we can exit immediately
	# this is fast and prevents issues when popping a stash we didn't create
	STAGED_CHANGES=`git diff-index --cached HEAD --name-only --diff-filter ACMR`

	if [ -z "$STAGED_CHANGES" ]; then
	exit 0
	fi

	describe('this should cause tests to fail', function(){
	// this will cause an exception
	// causing mocha to ignore this whole file
	var hello = JSON.parse('{"hello":}');

	it('should something', function(){
	// magic
	assert.equal(true, true);
	})
	});
