So I didn’t go to whatever was going on in Baltimore this week, but I did do a whole bunch of open source coding over the past week or two:
- TestFirst has a totally revamped design, including the downloadable (or cloneable) student exercises, and Learn JavaScript is now a first-class citizen
- Wrong‘s
expectalias now plays nicer with RSpec’sexpect - Rerun got a few new command-line options, including
--clearand--exitso you can now easily rerun regular scripts (likererun -cx rake test) when their files change - I submitted a patch to RubyGems to make the warningitis less ZOMG and more KTHXBY
- Fonzie is a bookmarklet that tells you what font you’re looking at
- Twitter RSS is a bookmarklet that brings back the RSS link to the New Twitter UI
- Showoff works better with nested bullets and missing
showoff.jsonfiles — so go nag Scott if you want him to accept my patches;-) - I also finally got my git pre-commit hook correctly stripping whitespace, and
A lot of these projects, especially TestFirst, are aching for improvement, so if you feel like contributing code or courseware, or even just feature requests, please get in touch!
