Step 0:

Get Homebrew installed on your mac if you don't already have it

Install highlight. "brew install highlight". (This brings down Lua and Boost as well)

This gist shows how to create a GIF screencast using only free OS X tools: QuickTime, ffmpeg, and gifsicle.

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

def wrap(string, before: "<", after: ">")
  "#{before}#{string}#{after}" # no need to retrieve options from a hash
end

# optional

Picking the right architecture = Picking the right battles + Managing trade-offs

User cases (description of sequences of events that, taken together, lead to a system doing something useful)
- Who is going to use it?
- How are they going to use it?

	class GroupOfThingies
	attr_accessor :thingies

	# Use like this:
	#
	# group_of_thingies = GroupOfThingies.new
	# group_of_thingies.each do \|thing\|
	# puts "Check out this awesome thing: #{thing}!"
	# end
	#

	# Working with branches
	#

	# Get the current branch name (not so useful in itself, but used in
	# other aliases)
	branch-name = "!git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD"
	# Push the current branch to the remote "origin", and set it to track
	# the upstream branch
	publish = "!git push -u origin $(git branch-name)"
