Just another WordPress site. User Stories and FDD. I bet you never heard of Feature-Driven Development, eh? Well, Mike Cohn wrote this recent post:. Not Everything Needs to Be a User Story: Using FDD Features. Having worked with Peter Coad since the early 90s, and Jeff De Luca in the late 90s, I’ve been a fan of FDD. And naturally turn to that style when “user stories” are not so user-centric. And yes, those are typically the minority items on our backlogs. Major Feature Sets (Quote Management), and their.

RVM Quick Start – Technical Debt
http://technicaldebt.com/getting-started-with-ruby/rvm-quick-start
Just another WordPress site. This awesome technology allows you to manage all of your ruby and gem combinations! If you are new to Ruby, trust me, you want to use RVM. For every project you do. It keeps the environment and gems (libraries) separate for each project, preventing clashes in libraries/dependencies and allowing you to easily have other people get their system set up and ready to go for working in your project. Rvm - ruby-version use 1.9.3@my app. Follow the instructions here to Install. And a...

BDD With Cucumber – Technical Debt
http://technicaldebt.com/crib-sheets/bdd-with-cucumber
Just another WordPress site. I have enjoyed learning and using Cucumber. Acceptance-level testing, and you can read some of my cucumber posts. In all my years of dealing with software development, Cucumber represented the first time I ever saw a “ closed loop. The “demand-pull” system of writing a failing cucumber test, and the “outside-in” approach of dropping down from a failing cuke into TDDing out the code, is just fantastic. Cukes help define behavior and indicate what “done” looks like. As a bonus,...

HAML – Technical Debt
http://technicaldebt.com/crib-sheets/haml
Just another WordPress site. If you haven’t given HAML. A try, you might want to consider it. My initial impressions are very favorable, and I was actually excited about how smooth things went. Allow me to explain…. There is a 50-50 chance you will like haml. From what I can tell, it is not necessarily an either-or decision for your team. Although standardizing and being consistent is often a quality unto itself! Order programming languages the world of html is still in the low single digits. And if you ...

Zurb Magellan Navigation – Technical Debt
http://technicaldebt.com/zurb-magellan-navigation
Just another WordPress site. Love the Zurb Foundation. The disjointed and terse example on the Magellan docs page. Does leave one asking for more details. Arrivals (build, js). Destinations (arrival, destination). I had a great deal of trouble to get the nesting correct on my page that also included the topbar element. There seemed to be conflicts with having the topbar being. From what I have gleaned by looking at the page source and doing a lot of trial and error (. In one div, define the arrivals.

Speedup Testing with Spork – Technical Debt
http://technicaldebt.com/crib-sheets/speedup-testing-with-spork
Just another WordPress site. Speedup Testing with Spork. Testing a rails app can sometimes really suck… Part of it is loading the rails stack (20-30s), and part of it is how you design some aspects around test data creation (if it is expensive) and user login, etc. A good combination to help on the technical side of things is spork and guard, as outlined here. Once you have installed the necessary, you can use it quite simply:. Rails root bundle exec guard start. Create .rspec file. Get it to work. Guard...

http://technicaldebt.com/crib-sheets/map-reduce-with-mongomapper-part-1
Just another WordPress site. Map-Reduce with MongoMapper (Part 1). I’ll come back and describe this in more detail. I just wanted to toss it out here while I have it on hand…. I couldn’t find a tutorial that I grokked clearly enough, so I will make my own. The first baby step… eventually it will grow to multiple params and date ranges… (gulp). I have a list of books/articles by author. I want to have a count of books/articles by author. 1 thought on “Map-Reduce with MongoMapper (Part 1)”.
