The Joy of Automating - (9) Refactoring Templates - chef-client cookbook

Activity and Resources can be found here:

In this episode we focus on refactoring and submitting pull requests for a community cookbook. Nathen Harvey and I fork the community cookbook, clone it, and then configure it for easiest management. Then we spend time understanding the template, making changes, committing the changes and opening a pull request. We continue to work further on cleaning up the logic that exists within the template, moving it back to the recipe, and then finally to a helper method.

The Joy of Automating is an hour long instructional show hosted by Franklin Webber. In each episode, Franklin will build a cookbook or add features to an existing cookbook while he will shares techniques on workflow, testing, and debugging. The focus is on honing ones skill through practice and repetition while exploring the richness of code.
