There is a new tip by Derek Neighbors - working with Blocks in Ruby in Textmate

Read more about this video…

Derek Neighbors is going to try and do a Textmate Tip/Trick of the week (or maybe day).  Many of these items will be new to him as well, so if he messes it up or miss something cool, please let him know.  If you find them valuable also let him know.  Here is the first installation - how to work with Hashes in TextMate.

rush (http://rush.heroku.com/) as defined by the website is:

a replacement for the unix shell (bash, zsh, etc) which uses pure Ruby syntax. Grep through files, find and kill processes, copy files - everything you do in the shell, now in Ruby.

In this talk you will learn 2 things.

• First we will go over some rush basics. Like globbing, search and replace, naming files, and processes.
• Second we will add rush to common tools, such as, Rake, Sake, Textmate, Capistrano, and Thor.

The first keynote was given by Evan Phoenix and it was about memes in the Ruby community. Apparently, the Ruby community loves a good meme.

Dependency injection was a rash in 2004 caused by Java developers. DI wasn't needed, sez Evan, because of the very nature of Ruby (as you can define stuff as late as you like).

Another meme: What's this called:
class << self; self; end;
metaclass, singleton-class, or eigenclass?

Then he discussed the Singleton Pattern which he claimed was almost always a bad idea (more blaming of the Java folks for bring it up) and always bad for testing

Aspect Oriented Programming was a big topic for awhile. (He said that alias_method_chain is all the AOP you really need)

Evan discussed _why the lucky stiff as a meme. There's so many rumors about _why. Who is he and what he does he do when he's not dropping off excellent Ruby code in the middle of the night?

"Chunky Bacon" is a meme in its own right.

Here's a somewhat exhaustive list of other memes he talked about:

• Zed Shaw
• git
• Ruby is too slow
• Macintoshes
• TextMate
• Rails can't scale
• Pixaxe
• Ruby CPAN
• rubygems vs rpa
• ARGV parsers
• DSLs
• BDD
• RSpec Backlash
• Metaprogramming is cool

Evan's take on all this was that the Ruby community loves to have fun. It's a very light on its feet community. This can scare a lot of enterprisey people, but he finds it awesome.

Content and filming by Dr. Nic Williams, voiceover by Geoffrey Grosenbach.

Dr. Nic Williams has been hard at work on an updated TextMate bundle for Rails 2.0.

This 66 minute screencast shows many of the new features of the Rails 2 TextMate bundle. It finishes by showing you how to write your own snippets and commands.

Being able to use the built-in shortcuts and script your own snippets can make you a happier and more productive programmer.

If you own a copy of TextMate but wish you were more familiar with the most frequently used keyboard shortcuts, this screencast will help orient you with what’s possible.

Short example of using TextMate’s Filter Through Command functionality. This tool allows you to send input from TextMate to shell commands and use the output produced by those commands as needed. Recorded and narrated by James Edward Gray II.

Ross Harmes is a frontend engineer who works in the Yahoo! Small Business group. Ross recently released a YUI “bundle” for the Mac OS X code editor TextMate; the bundle provides syntax highlighting, code completion, and integrated documentation retrieval within TextMate. He stopped by the YUI team offices today to show us how it works, and he was kind enough to let us capture that information in the form of a short (~9 minute) screencast.

Very nice screencast that shows just a couple of the basic ways of using TextMate for editing LaTeX files.

It is an impressive display of what can be achieved with a bit of realtime transformations on text typed (in snippets) and context sensitive expansion.

None of the stuff demonstrated is hardcoded, it is all achieved using the simple extension mechanisms of TextMate, and not even IDEs hardcoded for a given language show this level of grace! :)

This shows a few nice features found in the C and Objective-C bundles:

• documentation lookup, including following links in man pages
• reformatting objective-c method signatures
• auto-insertion of:
  • start brackets (when at the end position)
  • alloc/init/autorelease (after typing class name)
  • missing includes (based on which functions the source call)
