Use the Cucumber

2010-03-10T05:58:41Z

<img src="https://peepcode.com/system/uploads/2010/peepcode-cucumber-cover.png" alt="" /> The Cucumber behavior-driven development framework is appreciated by developers from many languages. It makes it easy to write plain-text stories that run executable Ruby code against your application. In this hour and ten minute screencast, you’ll learn the basics of Cucumber. You’ll learn the syntax, organization, and philosophy of writing Features, Scenarios, and Steps. You’ll build an application and learn where unit tests are a better fit. The PeepCode series on <a href="https://peepcode.com/screencasts/rspec">RSpec</a> kicked off our foray into independent screencast publishing and we think you’ll like this one just as much! Topics covered in this screencast include: <ul> <li>Organization & Helper Tools</li> <li>Setup & Installation</li> <li>Basic Features</li> <li>Wrapping Cucumber with a continuous script</li> <li>Configuration & Form Submission</li> <li>Using Tables</li> <li>Reusing Steps</li> <li>Using Webrat Directly</li> <li>Proper use of Background steps & Tags</li> <li>Integrating Unit Tests</li> <li>Fixing form fields</li> </ul> Available with a <a href="https://peepcode.com/products/unlimited">PeepCode Unlimited Subscription</a> or alone for only $9! <img src="https://peepcode.com/system/uploads/2010/peepcode-cucumber-app.png" alt="" /> <img src="https://peepcode.com/system/uploads/2010/peepcode-cucumber-fixtures.png" alt="" /> <img src="https://peepcode.com/system/uploads/2010/peepcode-cucumber-hal.png" alt="" /> <img src="https://peepcode.com/system/uploads/2010/peepcode-cucumber-feature.png" alt="" /> <img src="https://peepcode.com/system/uploads/2010/peepcode-cucumber-syntax.png" alt="" /> <img src="https://peepcode.com/system/uploads/2010/peepcode-cucumber-chapters.png" alt="" />

<img src="https://peepcode.com/system/uploads/2009/peepcode-jquery-cover.png" alt="" /> by Geoffrey Grosenbach Two years in the making, it’s the PeepCode screencast on jQuery, the popular Javascript framework for developing web applications. jQuery stormed out of the gate and quickly won the hearts of developers. Its design and implementation make it easy for you to accomplish basic tasks. Extendability is built in with its plugin architecture (you’ll write one in this screencast). You can organize code around native Javascript objects (you’ll do that, too!). Researching and producing this screencast converted the author from a jQuery skeptic to a believer. If you want to understand the fundamentals in an easy, fun way with the high production values, motion graphics, and straight-to-the-point depth of PeepCode, this is the screencast for you! In addition, you’ll learn about the <a href="http://www.pomodorotechnique.com/">Pomodoro</a> time managment technique by building a simple time-tracking application. Topics covered in this tutorial include: <ul> <li>jQuery Core Concepts</li> <li>Browser Tools</li> <li>Brief Javascript Primer</li> <li>The Mighty Dollar Function</li> <li>Selectors</li> <li>Implementing a Pomodoro Task Management Application</li> <li>Design and Write a Plugin</li> <li>Event Handling and live()</li> <li>Using extend()</li> <li>Understanding the <code>this</code> keyword</li> <li>Using the debugger</li> <li>Code Organization with Javascript Objects</li> <li>Basic Animation</li> <li>Using Timers</li> </ul> Future screencasts will cover Ajax and Test-Driven Development.

If you’re starting out with the command line for the first time, you might want to view it before this one. If you’re an open source developer, you probably use the command line frequently. But if you’re like most developers, you’ve never taken the time to learn it properly. This screencast filters it down into 40 minutes packed with useful tips and guidelines for getting the most out of the bash shell (with a nod at zsh, too). You’ll learn to organize your configuration files so you can start building a lifelong collection of useful tools. You’ll learn to customize your prompt and navigate it like a pro. You’ll learn shortcuts for reusing previous commands, searching your history, and modifying previous commands before running them again. Aliases and functions will turn monotonous tasks into short, powerful custom commands. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced developer, you’re bound to learn something from this screencast that you can use in your daily workflow.

<img src="http://peepcode.com/system/uploads/2009/peepcode-mercurial-title.png" alt="" /> Mercurial creator Matt Mackall was the technical editor for this screencast! Many developers have embraced distributed source code control as a faster, more agile way of managing projects both online and offline. Mercurial is not only fast, it also provides a smooth transition for developers who are already comfortable with Subversion’s basic command set. And it gives you easy access to common functionality without resorting to cryptic command-line flags. It works well on all major operating systems, including Microsoft Windows. Major projects such as Python and Mozilla use Mercurial. Project hosting options abound, including Google Code, <a href="http://bitbucket.org">BitBucket</a>, and even <a href="http://github.com">GitHub</a> via the experimental hg-git! In this 50 minute screencast, Dan Benjamin draws on years of experience with source code control systems to get you up to speed with Mercurial. In fact, he was so impressed with Mercurial that he converted all his personal projects and is now using it daily. Even if you primarily use Git or another distributed system, this screencast will help you for those times when you want to clone or contribute to a project hosted in Mercurial. And maybe you’ll even learn some tips to take back to your SCM of choice! Chapters: <ul> <li>Introduction</li> <li>Configuration</li> <li>Basic Commands <ul> <li>init</li> <li>ignore</li> <li>add</li> <li>commit</li> <li>remove</li> <li>revert</li> <li>Status Codes</li> </ul> </li> <li>Tags</li> <li>Working Directory</li> <li>Branches <ul> <li>What’s a branch?</li> <li>branches</li> <li>parents</li> <li>merge</li> </ul> </li> <li>Shared Repositories <ul> <li>clone</li> <li>outgoing</li> <li>push</li> <li>update</li> </ul> </li> <li>Centralized Repositories <ul> <li>.hg/hgrc</li> <li>Repository URLs</li> </ul> </li> <li>Undoing Changes <ul> <li>revert</li> <li>rollback</li> <li>backout</li> </ul> </li> <li>Migrating to Mercurial</li> <li>Conclusion</li> </ul> Only $9 for a limited time, or included with all <a href="http://peepcode.com/products/unlimited">PeepCode Unlimited</a> subscriptions! <img src="http://peepcode.com/system/uploads/2009/peepcode-mercurial-heads.png" alt="" /> <img src="http://peepcode.com/system/uploads/2009/peepcode-mercurial-status.png" alt="" /> <img src="http://peepcode.com/system/uploads/2009/peepcode-mercurial-branch.png" alt="" /> <img src="http://peepcode.com/system/uploads/2009/peepcode-mercurial-tip.png" alt="" /> <img src="http://peepcode.com/system/uploads/2009/peepcode-mercurial-update.png" alt="" /> <img src="http://peepcode.com/system/uploads/2009/peepcode-mercurial-urls.png" alt="" /> <img src="http://peepcode.com/system/uploads/2009/peepcode-mercurial-chapters.png" alt="" />

(If you have, skip ahead to <a href="https://peepcode.com/products/advanced-command-line">Advanced Command Line</a>). Navigating a text-based terminal can be intimidating at first, but experienced developer and systems administrator Dan Benjamin introduces it smoothly one concept at a time whether you’re currently using Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux. In this 70 minute screencast you’ll learn about the basic assumptions of Unix, how to look for help, and how to confidently work with files, directories, and programs. Also included is a bonus 60 page PDF reference guide!

Requires <a href="http://macruby.icoretech.org/">nightly build</a> and <a href="http://github.com/peepcode/peepcode-035-macruby/commit/a90ced6e5ee35d1927e63f150e803e751a558839">a minor code change</a>. MacRuby takes the “almost” out of “almost a desktop experience.” With MacRuby, you can write real Mac OS X desktop applications with Ruby. MacRuby is a Ruby interpreter built by Apple on top of Objective-C. Unlike other scripting interfaces to the Cocoa frameworks, MacRuby objects are fully functional peers of Objective-C objects with no translation layer. This means that your Ruby applications can do almost anything a compiled application could do, and at near-native speed. You’ll build a functional Twitter client from scratch, learning about both Cocoa and MacRuby along the way. You’ll design an application graphically with Interface Builder and learn about the major design patterns in Cocoa applications. You’ll work with network resources, parse XML, and POST data back to the server so you’ll be ready to write your own web-enabled desktop applications. This screencast covers <ul> <li>What is MacRuby?</li> <li>The basic syntax of MacRuby</li> <li>What you need to know about Objective-C to write MacRuby apps</li> <li>Building a basic application</li> <li>How to learn Cocoa and read the documentation</li> <li>Submitting network credentials with HTTP Basic Auth</li> <li>Designing with concurrency in mind and avoiding the spinning beachball of death</li> <li>Displaying tweets in a table view</li> <li>One-step authentication</li> <li>Reloading tweets</li> <li>Posting to a REST-based web service</li> <li>Packaging the Application</li> </ul> Watching this screencast will give you a head start toward becoming familiar and confident with programming Cocoa applications on the Mac with Ruby!

<img src="https://peepcode.com/system/uploads/2009/haml-cover.png" alt="" /> <a href="http://haml.hamptoncatlin.com/">Haml</a> blesses those who use it with freedom from the verbosity of HTML and from the banality of un-programmable CSS. You can get straight to work thinking about your code instead of trudging through the boilerplate of angle brackets and closing tags. With Sass your CSS becomes smart. Much, much smarter. Since its initial release in 2007, the Haml templating library has been adopted by increasing numbers of high profile consultancies (<a href="http://unspace.ca/">Unspace</a>, <a href="http://blog.obiefernandez.com/content/2008/01/are-you-using-h.html">Hashrocket</a>) and Ruby frameworks (Rails, Merb, Sinatra).

<img src="https://peepcode.com/system/uploads/2008/emacs-cover.png" alt="" /> The classic <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/">Gnu Emacs</a> text editor is an incredibly powerful piece of software that has been used by thousands of programmers over the last few decades. Many alpha geeks have recently been giving Emacs a second look as well. Emacs Lisp expert <a href="http://technomancy.us/">Phil Hagelberg</a> prepared the script and accompanying code for this screencast. You’ll learn how to get comfortable with his <a href="http://github.com/technomancy/emacs-starter-kit/tree/master">Emacs Starter Kit</a> which includes a suite of sensible defaults and handy shortcuts. In addition to learning about the basic philosophies and approach of Emacs, you’ll learn how to: <ul> <li>Get and install emacs for your platform.</li> <li>Operate the various key sequences.</li> <li>Use the built in version control and Git-specific features.</li> <li>Take advantage of code completion and linking.</li> <li>Customize your setup with key bindings, color themes, and third-party libraries.</li> </ul> Whether you’re looking at Emacs for fulltime development or just want to be comfortable with a terminal-based text editor for remote deployment and debugging, this screencast will get you there. You may even find that learning the basics of Emacs helps you to be more efficient in your editor of choice since many text editors and web apps (such as <a href="http://macromates.com">TextMate</a>, <a href="http://gmail.com">Gmail</a>, and various terminals) implement Emacs key bindings.

Imagine a world where there is no SQL. Your database doesn’t have a schema. You don’t have to worry about indexes. Replication is built-in. Scaling is part of the plan from day one. This is the world promised to you by <a href="http://incubator.apache.org/couchdb/">CouchDB</a>, an Apache Foundation incubator project in the genre of Amazon’s SimpleDB (but open source!). This 60 minute screencast clearly explains the forward-thinking features of CouchDB and shows you how to use CouchDB with Rails. This screencast is the product of months of research, a trip across the world to Berlin, hours of coding on the CouchRest gem, and technical editing by a pair of CouchDB committers. You’ll learn how to install CouchDB from source, how to use the CouchRest gem, and you’ll build a personal notes application that uses CouchDB. You’ll learn about different ways to serialize Ruby objects to JSON. You’ll write custom views in Javascript and synchronize them to your database. Oh, and you’ll also learn a bit about the daring personal history behind the CouchDB project! Whether you’re planning to use CouchDB on an upcoming Ruby project or just want to be informed about current developments in database technology, you’ll find it in this screencast.

<img src="https://peepcode.com/system/previews/rest-rails-2/site-rest2.png" alt="" /> The first REST screencast was the top-selling screencast at PeepCode for over a year. We’ve started from scratch and built this one from the ground up for Rails 2 (a few Rails 2.1 features are used, too!). RESTful routes have been a big part of Rails since version 1.2, but they are also very confusing! They’re all about building your application to deliver HTML and API-friendly XML from a single piece of data. This screencast covers the basics of REST and walks through a simple application to show how REST routes work. You’ll learn about the magic that goes on behind the scenes and how you can design a REST application with confidence. Routes, URLs, forms, testing, and general tips are covered over the course of 57 minutes of the high quality, professional production you’ve come to expect from PeepCode. We touch on ActiveResource briefly. Simple, clear diagrams are featured throughout. If you are already familiar with how to build a Rails application, this screencast will give you the knowledge you need to convert an existing application to REST or design a new app with the principles of REST. Features a handy chapter track for jumping to specific topics. Code samples are included as well. Included with <a href="https://peepcode.com/products/unlimited">PeepCode Unlimited</a> and also available for only US$9! Those who purchased this screencast subsequent to December 2007 will receive an automatic upgrade to this new screencast. <img src="https://peepcode.com/system/previews/rest-rails-2/site-chapters.png" alt="" /> <img src="https://peepcode.com/system/previews/rest-rails-2/site-diagram.png" alt="" /> <img src="https://peepcode.com/system/previews/rest-rails-2/site-diagram2.png" alt="" /> <img src="https://peepcode.com/system/previews/rest-rails-2/site-diagram3.png" alt="" /> <img src="https://peepcode.com/system/previews/rest-rails-2/site-code.png" alt="" />

You can now write plain-text stories that fit into the XP style of development. You can use stories written by customers to execute code against your application, or you may choose to use stories as a part of your development workflow. The implementation of RSpec stories also fills a gap once filled by Rails’ integration tests. RSpec stories run against the whole stack of your application, including routes, controllers, models, and views. This 50-minute screencast introduces stories and shows you how to use them with pure Ruby code or inside a Rails application. <img src="https://peepcode.com/system/previews/rspec-stories/diagram.png" alt="" /> <img src="https://peepcode.com/system/previews/rspec-stories/code.png" alt="" /> <img src="https://peepcode.com/system/previews/rspec-stories/chapters.png" alt="" />

by Geoffrey Grosenbach. Technical editing by Git Maintainer Junio C Hamano. The <a href="http://git.or.cz/">git</a> source code control system was developed by Linus Torvalds for managing the Linux kernel. But it’s also valuable for managing all kinds of code: libraries, web applications, personal files. Git was built for the modern developer’s workflow. Easy branching, full capability even when offline, and fast operation make other source code management systems feel underpowered compared with git! This 60 minutes screencast will teach you how to install and use Git. You’ll learn how to create a repository, use branches, and work with remote repositories. Integration with Subversion is also mentioned briefly. Also see Scott Chacon’s <a href="https://peepcode.com/products/git-internals-pdf">Git Internals PDF</a> for an in-depth explanation of how Git works under the covers. <img src="http://peepcode.com/system/chapters/git-chapters.png" alt="" /> <img src="http://peepcode.com/system/chapters/git-pull.png" alt="" />

If you’re a Rails developer, it’s time to learn the magic behind the Javascript libraries that ship with Rails. You may even find yourself taking advantage of the power or Prototype instead of using the Rails helpers that insulate you from the process! If you want to use Prototype with another server-side framework, you’ll learn the client-side basics you need to be confident with Ajax. <a href="http://peepcode.com/pages/quicktime-chapter-track"><img src="http://peepcode.com/system/chapters/ajax-chapters.png" alt="" /></a>

Many prominent Rails developers have jumped on the BDD bandwagon, and with good reason! It’s a great workflow and values clarity, small steps, database-independence, and self-documenting code. If Test::Unit doesn’t make sense to you, or if you want to write better code, this is the place to start. This 55 minute screencast is the first of a 3-part series on <a href="http://rspec.rubyforge.org">RSpec</a>. You’ll learn how to install and configure RSpec. We’ll walk through a simple project. Then we’ll install RSpec in a Rails application and start writing examples for a simple model. NOTE The code download has been updated to work with the latest Rails 2.1 and RSpec 1.1.4. <a href="http://peepcode.com/pages/quicktime-chapter-track"><img src="http://peepcode.com/system/chapters/rspec-chapters.png" alt="" /></a> <a href="http://peepcode.com/products/rspec-mocks-and-models">Part 2</a> is available now and covers mocking, stubbing, and custom matchers. Part 3 will cover controllers, views, and auxiliary tools.

by Geoffrey Grosenbach. Technical consulting by Prototype Core Team Member <a href="http://alternateidea.com/">Justin Palmer</a>. Did your first few years of Javascript programming consist of “copy” and “paste”? It’s time to learn it right! Javascript is a highly dynamic language with many interesting features which most developers never learn. Yet familiarity with Javascript is a must if you want to develop current web applications with the full power of modern browsers. The <a href="http://prototypejs.org">Prototype.js</a> library makes Javascript nearly painless. It extends native objects with extra functionality and makes it easy to organize your code or even extend built-in objects. This 90 minute screencast shows you the basics of Javascript and walks through a few simple projects. You’ll learn about <ul> <li>code organization</li> <li>writing classes</li> <li>extending objects</li> <li>attaching behaviors to elements </li> <li>simple debugging</li> </ul> <a href="https://peepcode.com/products/ajax-with-prototypejs">Part II</a> is now available and covers Ajax in depth. Source code included.

by Geoffrey Grosenbach with content from Zed Shaw, author of <a href="http://mongrel.rubyforge.org">Mongrel</a>. Programmers love performance. We like to talk about it and form theories, but we don’t know how to measure it. And when we do, we don’t know what to do with the numbers we get. This screencast shows how to use the very simple (but capable) <a href="http://www.hpl.hp.com/research/linux/httperf">httperf</a> command-line tool. It also explains the basic statistics you need to know to compare separate benchmarking runs. You’ll also learn how to use httperf to find the maximum performance of a single Mongrel instance. You can use this same technique to tune your server and find the optimum number of Mongrel processes to use in your cluster. <a href="http://peepcode.com/pages/quicktime-chapter-track"><img src="https://peepcode.com/system/chapters/httperf-chapters.png" alt="" /></a> Now features a convenient chapter menu!

The code from that project is included in the download, but is not explained in this screencast. Although a Rails application is used, the topics discussed could be used to benchmark any web application stack.

Sometimes your web application can be slow. Or you have a surge of traffic. Or you want to run your site on slow hardware or a shared host. For those times you need caching. Ruby on Rails comes with page, action, and fragment caching built-in. You can use these techniques on single pages or in combinations across the pages of your application. This screencast show you how to use all three and points out a few troubleshooting tips along the way. Now with a convenient chapter menu! This is a free update for anyone who purchased this screencast in the past. <a href="http://peepcode.com/pages/quicktime-chapter-track"><img src="http://topfunky.com/clients/peepcode/2007/caching-menu.png" alt="" /></a> Source code included. Uses the current Rails 1.2.2. Purchase includes access to Quicktime 7 and iPod-ready versions. <a href="http://peepcode.com/pages/subscribe">Subscriptions</a> are also available. See also <a href="http://peepcode.com/products/benchmarking-with-httperf">Part II</a> where you’ll learn how to benchmark a full Rails stack with httperf (authored together with Zed Shaw).

Test-first development can improve your workflow, improve the quality of your software, and give you confidence. If you have looked at the “test” directory sitting at the bottom of your Rails applications and have wondered what it’s there for, this is the screencast for you! This screencast walks through the basics of writing a simple application with the principles of test-first and behavior-driven development. You’ll use the features already built into Rails and learn how to extend it for your own needs, too. The download includes the actual code discussed in the screencast (recently updated for Rails 1.2.2). Rails 1.2.2 is used for the project but most of the content applies to any current version of Rails. NOTE: Advanced or cutting edge topics such as rSpec and Test::Rails are not discussed in this screencast but will be covered in a future episode. (Requires Quicktime 7 → <a href="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/">Download</a>.) <h3>Cheat Sheet</h3> <a href="http://topfunky.com/clients/rails/ruby_and_rails_assertions.pdf">→ Download Free Test Assertions Cheat Sheet</a>
