Install Rails 3.1 RC

gem install rails --pre

generate new app, skipping Test::Unit file generation

rails new my_app -T

Set up Gemfile

Prereq:

apt-get install zsh
apt-get install git-core

Getting zsh to work in ubuntu is weird, since sh does not understand the source command. So, you do this to install zsh

wget https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/raw/master/tools/install.sh -O - | zsh

Accessing an API using CoreData's NSIncrementalStore

Note: the original location of this article is on my blog, however, it is posted here too for better readability.

In this article, we will see how to use Core Data for accessing your API. We will use the Bandcamp API as our running example. I've only been experimenting with this code for a few days, so there might be mistakes in there.

Working With Github Pages

The FAQ maintained by Github covers most stumbling blocks, some other tips and tricks supplied here.

Gitignore

Add _site to .gitignore. The generated site should not be uploaded to Github since its gets generated by github.

Working With Code Partials

Instructions

Enable ‘Run’ in the ‘Build’ section of your test bundle’s scheme. (See http://www.raingrove.com/2012/03/28/running-ocunit-and-specta-tests-from-command-line.html)

Install the Kicker tool and the dependencies

$ gem install kicker open4 colored xcodebuild-rb

Generate the list yourself:

$ cd /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS*.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/UIKit.framework/Headers
$ grep UI_APPEARANCE_SELECTOR ./*     | \
  sed 's/NS_AVAILABLE_IOS(.*)//g'     | \
  sed 's/NS_DEPRECATED_IOS(.*)//g'    | \
  sed 's/API_AVAILABLE(.*)//g'        | \
  sed 's/API_UNAVAILABLE(.*)//g'      | \
 sed 's/UI_APPEARANCE_SELECTOR//g' | \

Here's an example of how to embed a Gist on GitHub Pages:

{% gist 5555251 %}

All you need to do is copy and paste the Gist's ID from the URL (here 5555251), and add it to a gist tag surrounded by {% and %}.

	# Was asked how I keep my zshrc config sync'd between my computers with Dropbox

	# Add a new directory in your Dropbox (or use an existing one)
	mkdir -p ~/Dropbox/ohmyzsh

	# move existing file to Dropbox
	mv ~/.zshrc ~/Dropbox/ohmyzsh/zshrc

	# symlink file back to your local directory
	ln -s ~/Dropbox/ohmyzsh/zshrc ~/.zshrc

	// I realized there should really be a more elegant way to
	// send actions to responder chain, without manually looping
	// through the responder chain. Here we implement the
	// delete: method in both UITableViewCell and UITableView, so
	// that they know the right thing to do in their own delete:

	# To get your project ready for this, you'll have to create a scheme for your unit test project, make sure run is checked in
	# the build step, and then delete the Test Host setting.
	# Also, make sure you have the colored and open4 gems installed.
