The Kiczales HtDF Way

To design Functions :

1. Signature, purpose, stub.
2. Define examples, wrap each in check-expect.
3. Template and inventory.
4. Code function and body.
5. Test and debug till done.

signature : type of each arg, separated by spaces, followed by -> type of result.
purpose - a meaningful one line statement.
stub : syntactically complete function definition that produces a value of the right ype. This makes it possible to run examples even before the function design is complete..

You ain't got UBC under your thumbnail for nothin bro.

Alan Skorkin's Treasure Trove (Bash Shortcuts)

http://www.skorks.com/2009/09/bash-shortcuts-for-maximum-productivity/

The ones I didn't know about :

Ctrl + k - delete from cursor to end of command line
Ctrl + u - delete from cursor to start of command line
Ctrl + w - delete backwards one word
Ctrl + y - paste text victimized by most recent deletion
Ctrl + xx - move between start of command line and current cursor position
Alt + b/f - back/forward one word
Alt + d - delete to end of word
Alt + c - capitalize start of word and go to end of word
Alt + u - make uppercase from cursor to end of word
Alt + l - make lowercase from cursor to end of word
Alt + t - swap current word with previous (SO COOL!)
Alt + . - insert last word of previous command

!blah:p - print out the command that !blah would run and add it to history
!* - previous command except for the FIRST word (even geniuses get it wrong sometimes :)
!!:s/foo/bar - execute previous command by replacing foo with bar
