Main Content
Welcome to Jekyll Bootstrap, a new from-scratch iteration at a Jekyll theme,
written using Bootstrap v4. By default, the first paragraph will appear
in the index summary, complete with styling. If you define an excerpt_separator in the post’s
frontmatter, you can have more or fewer paragraphs in the index excerpts. Try it!
This post can be found in the _posts directory, following the convention of
YYYY-MM-DD-name-of-post.md.
New as of v0.8.0 You can add callout sections with the {:.info}, {:.success}, {:.warning},
and {:.danger} If you want to make them sticky, change that to {:.<class>.sticky}, but make sure
you avoid any sticky asides before the excerpt separator!.
How to Use Jekyll
Jekyll offers all the power of Markdown, along with extended support for code snippets and other useful tech blogging tools. You can include code in the standard Markdown form:
class Dog
def bark
puts 'woof'
end
end
#=> prints 'woof'
Or using Jekyll’s Liquid syntax:
1
2
3
4
5
class Dog
def bark
puts 'woof'
end
end

Coming Soon
Consider this post a placeholder for now, I just want to make sure the deployment scripts are still working after all these years.
It's been a while
Yeah, I’ve been neglecting this blog for a long time. It’s been a long struggle, but after years of self reflecting and working on myself, I’ve decided to refocus myself; and this blog is a part of that effort.
Dependency Injection in Ruby
Dependency injection is a technique to decrease and make more explicit the coupling between two classes by moving a dependency from deep within the dependent class to its initializer.
On Simplicity
Over the past few years I’ve fallen into the habit of trying to start blogging regularly, only to fall into the same trap over and over. While I could rattle off the reasone, it really comes down to one thing: a lack of simplicity.
Jekyll Inline Conditionals With Liquid Filters
Often times when writing Jekyll templates, we need to do some conditional matching on certain blocks of text, returning one value in one instance, and a different value in another instance. Many times only a small portion needs to be changed, such as the name of a class, or inserting a default value when a variable is nil.
