Learnings for Week 18 2010

Learnings for the past week. * more vim fun ** zf5j to fold the next 5 lines ** zo to open a fold ** zc to close a fold ** c in visual block to substitute ** ctrl+_ to complete html tag (with closetag plugin) ** ctrl+w+_ to maximize splits vertically ** ctrl+w+| to maximize splits horizontally ** ctrl+w+= to equalize splits * after_initialize in a ruby model if you want something to happen when both new or create are called * instance_eval can be given a block. This is really powerful if you want to whip up a quick DSL to clean up some code (highly recommended). * Devise authentication plugin dropped support for MongoMapper until it conforms to ActiveModel (MongoMapper is in turn waiting until Rails 3 is final before making this change)
