Jerad Bitner demos some of the work we've been doing on the Ooyala module.
This video shows you how to create your own custom shortcuts for various commands. We'll look at some common aliases and see how to add them to our command line environment. This is super handy for commands that you type in all the time and don't want to go through the tedium of typing the whole thing out every time. For example, we show how to automatically go to a particular directory with just one word (e.g. type "clients" and go to the /Users/add1sun/lullabot/clients directory immediately).
This video looks at the basics of working with MySQL from the command line. We get into a mysql and look at databases, tables and fields. We cover creating and deleting databases, creating a user, and some basic queries within a particular database.
In this video we'll take on the specific task of getting everything in place to run the Drupal installation script, all from the command line. We'll get a copy of the Drupal code (using three different methods: FTP, CVS and Drush), copy our settings.php file, and then create a new database and database user.
I had the opportunity to present to a local organization in Salt Lake City on the techniques Lullabot uses for making kick ass presentations and how we streamline our presentations so they're reusable amongst our teaching staff. The highlights are below and the slides are also available - Ditch PowerPoint. PowerPoint introduces boredom, repetition and information fatigue. - Do a cold open. - Kill the bullet points. People don't retain bullet points. They retain the story. - Don't apologize. No...
This video picks up where we left off in the Editing with Vi video. This time we take a look at some shortcuts for replacing text, how to copy/paste, and the cool visual mode feature you get with Vim.
In this second Vi/Vim video we move on to doing some basic editing. We cover inserting text in a few different ways, how to delete text, and then how to revert or save your changes.
This video introduces you to the Vi editor. Vi is the most common editor that you will have available to you on *nix systems so it pays to at least learn the basics in case you end up somewhere where that is all you have to use. Vim is also actually a very serviceable editor which many people (mostly hardcore geeks) use as their day to day editor. We'll talk briefly about Vi versus Vim, then open a file, move around, and close the the file.Note: There are a lot of editors out there, notably em...
This video covers some handy tips for reusing previously run commands and moving around through a line of text in the command line interface. These shortcuts make working on the command line much faster and nicer.
This video in the command line series will get you started using the very powerful grep command. This is one of the most used commands, especially if you are working with a lot of text (like code, for instance). Grep will let you search through files to find strings and it's great for tracking down where something is coming from. Grep is a very powerful tool with lots of options, but you'll see you can do a lot even with just the basics. We cover the basic command with a file, how to use it th...
