Captain's Log: 2013.08.05

• Continued editing Preview, Example, and Amazon specs on preview-refactor branch
  • edited Preview spec to use Example fixture and fakeweb
    • we want the spec to not request a website, and to use our fixture
    • we need to ask why is this important? Don't we want tests to fail once an actual website changes?
  • created response() function in html spec helper for less repetitive code in specs
  • used let() to do lazy assignments
    • ex: let(:link) { "http://example.com" }
  • finished creating and passing all tests for Amazon
    • First spec finished with least amount of input from Captain Kurt yet!
    • JZ: write tests
    • Vyki: make tests pass
    • learned more about Nokogiri, used .first["src"] to get src attribute for product image

• First pull request from Robin
  • tiny change to keep us up-to-date with discourse/discourse
• oneboxer changes to discourse/discourse being redirected our way
• New recommended resources
  • Bitcast.io - Captain Kurt suggested we use it for learning by creating our own screencasts on top of watching existing screencasts
  • Rails 4 In Action - Book, check out the early access edition
• HOMEWORK: Listen to more RubyRogues, checkout Ruby Tapas
