A frequent feature request for Pivotal Tracker is support for parallel tracks of development for multiple pairs of developers (you are pair programming, right?) It's true that Tracker does not fully support parallel tracks within the same Project, but you can get most of the way there by doing what we do on many Pivotal Labs projects: use labels to identify multiple tracks of development. With labels, you can easily visualize and manage parallel development tracks while keeping your team's work in one Pivotal Tracker Project.
Interesting Things
You can never return: ... except when you can. From a block, that is. Returning from a block rarely works:
result = ['one', 'two'].each do |x| return x end => LocalJumpError: unexpected returnBut, you can pass
nextandbreakarguments, which will allow you to assign return values from the block:result = ['one', 'two'].each do |x| break(x) end => "one" result = ['one', 'two'].each do |x| next(x) end => ["one", "two"]
You can return from a lambda, though.
Check out Google Page Speed, which is like Yahoo's YSlow, only "better."
Page Speed is an open-source Firefox/Firebug Add-on. Webmasters and web developers can use Page Speed to evaluate the performance of their web pages and to get suggestions on how to improve them.
Like chef? Love capistrano? Check out chef-deploy, which "... Uses the same directory layout as capistrano and steals the git remote cached deploy strategy from cap and adapts it to work without cap and under chef."
SFTUG FTW! Another successful SF Tracker User Group Meetup on 06/24. Watch for future events on the Meetup site.
