BLOCK

Block encapsulates a standalone entity that is meaningful on its own.

While blocks can be nested and interact with each other, semantically they remain equal; there is no precedence or hierarchy.

Holistic entities without DOM representation (such as controllers or models) can be blocks as well.

Setting up a Github and Bitbucket account on the same computer on Mac OS. Now with a guide for Windows 10.

Setting up github and bitbucket on the same computer (Windows)

Guide for Windows

mix3d asked for some help using this guide with windows so here we go. This was tested with Windows 10. Run all commands in Git Bash once it's installed.

Github will be the main account and bitbucket the secondary.

Git for Windows

  • Download and install Git for Windows
    • In the installer, select everything but decide if you want a desktop icon (2nd step)

Heroku + Github + Sensitive Data

Heroku + Github + Sensitive Data

Scenario: You deployed a Heroku project that contains sensitive data (password, API key, etc) but you want to share it on Github.

Problem: You need to commit all files necessary for the application to run on Heroku. However, pushing this to Github would reveal the sensitive info.

Solution: Have a production branch (for this example, master will be the production branch) and a Github branch. The latter contains a different .gitignore that ignores the sensitive files.

Alex's Rails Cheat Sheet

I think the most confusing thing that I have found about Ruby on Rails so far has been the transition from (trying to) write code myself to the use of the fabled "Rails Magic". So, to help my own understanding of a few core Ruby on Rails concepts, I have decided to write something on what I think is a CRITICAL topic... the idea of Convention over Configuration and why (in my mind) it is the most important thing that helps Rails become magic!

(This may be a topic that we cover in more detail in class but as I said, I'm writing this for my own understanding... I hope it helps someone else understand things too... Perhaps you can give me a hand when I'm crying next week!)

##Convention over configuration ###What does this "actually" mean...

PostgreSQL command line cheatsheet

PSQL

Magic words:

psql -U postgres

Some interesting flags (to see all, use -h or --help depending on your psql version):

  • -E: will describe the underlaying queries of the \ commands (cool for learning!)
  • -l: psql will list all databases and then exit (useful if the user you connect with doesn't has a default database, like at AWS RDS)
