+Adam: Hello! Welcome to Readme Driven
+Design in Emacs by Adam Aard. If you're
+a programmer, you're accustomed to
+putting a README file at the root of
+your project. It's usually a Markdown
+file But if you use an Org Mode file
+instead, you can take advantage of the
+great features that Org Mode provides,
+including literate programming, which
+lets you generate your source code and
+Markdown documentation dynamically.
+I want to walk you through a little bit
+of what this looks like.
+
+00:00:37.120 --> 00:01:03.520
+When you start a project, especially if
+if you use something like Github you
+begin with an automatically generated
+README.md file. So just delete that
+and instead create a README.org file.
+Starting with an empty Org file,
+like you see here, you can begin
+by recording important information about
+your project goals. You can add diagrams,
+code snippets, to-do lists, time tracking
+and much more.
+
+00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:38.880
+I'm going to drop in some documentation
+that I've written about about my project
+here, so you can see what this would
+look like. As you can see, I have a
+title, and a description, and then a
+subsection as well as some code
+snippets. You can see that Org Mode does
+a great job of formatting lists, code
+sections, diagrams, and so forth. It's
+as good or better than Markdown, but
+when you use it in Emacs you can do a
+lot more.
+
+00:01:38.880 --> 00:02:08.000
+For example, you can dynamically create
+diagrams using Graphviz from a text
+description. If you go to this source
+block here and hit C-c C-c, you'll see
+that we generate a diagram dynamically
+You can run these code snippets in place
+and get the results to show up inside of
+your file, which is a really powerful
+paradigm.
+
+00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:19.520
+But most importantly, for my purposes
+here, Org Mode provides you the ability
+to do literate programming.
+
+00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:34.720
+So take a quick look at this diagram
+that I generated here. It gives you a
+quick overview of what I mean by
+literate programming and how I'm using
+it. You can see that we start with a
+README.org file on top.
+
+00:02:34.720 --> 00:03:17.120
+At this point, we can do one of two
+things: tangle or weave. Tangle is used
+to describe the process of generating
+source code, while weave is the process
+of generating documentation. These are
+terms that Donald Knuth used. He's the
+one that came up with the idea of
+literate programming in the early 1980s.
+But this is really all that there is to
+it. You just... You are simply using a
+literate source file, in this case the
+README.org, to generate the rest of the
+project files, basically.
+
+00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:59.479
+So let's dig in to the details of how
+this works. I hope you... Hopefully
+you'll see how cool this is. So
+returning to the file here. Let's assume
+we have enough documentation now, that
+we want to get started coding. So maybe
+we'll just start with like a Hello World
+app, just so we can make sure that our
+environment is set up correctly. Let's
+get started with a code block. So I
+created a little snippet to help me add
+a source block for literate programming
+quickly. There's not much to it, but
+there are some important annotations
+here.
+
+00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:55.360
+Excuse me. There's a property called
+:tangle and that takes a value of a file
+name. Then there's also a :noweb
+property called no-export. Basically,
+the noexport--we'll explain that a
+little bit more later It has to do with
+how the tangling is done in the tangle
+step versus the weave step. I'll explain
+that a little bit more. But the tangle
+field just simply tells Emacs where it
+needs to generate the main.go file and
+where it needs to put it on the file
+system.
+
+00:04:55.360 --> 00:05:21.520
+You'll notice that we're going to use
+Go. That's just the language that I've
+been using the most lately, but this
+programming strategy is
+language-agnostic. You could use any
+language or any mix of languages. You
+could create some files in Python, some
+files in Go, some files in Lisp, or
+whatever you want.
+
+00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:56.400
+Let's create just a little Hello World.
+Let's use another snippet here to
+generate the basics of a Go program. I'm
+just going to print Hello World. So
+that's... And then let's make it a
+section in our file. So now you can see,
+we've got this snippet.
+
+00:05:56.400 --> 00:06:42.319
+When you have a source block in inside
+of Org Mode, you can easily pop into a
+language-specific buffer by typing C-c '
+(single quote). So you can see, now I
+have a buffer that's in go-mode and
+gives you all the ability to edit like
+you would normally. If you hit C-c '
+(single quote) again, it goes back and
+any changes you make will be updated
+there. But you can do quite a bit just
+inside of here too. There's quite a bit
+of language-specific functionality just
+in place, so you don't always have to go
+over to a separate buffer. It's a nice
+option sometimes.
+
+00:06:42.319 --> 00:07:12.240
+Now that you have the code in here,
+you're going to want to run it. Right
+now, it just lives here in this
+documentation. You need to get a copy of
+it into a separate file, and that's the
+tangle process that you you need to
+follow there. So I'm gonna drop in a
+little bit more doc, a little bit more
+documentation really quick here.
+
+00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:44.879
+Okay, all right. So just as a side note,
+I like to follow this process. Whenever
+I have an operation to perform, I'd like
+to document it here with a snippet that
+can be executed inline. Then I don't
+have to leave Org Mode, and I don't have
+to try to remember what I did later. So
+instead of just trying to do an
+operation, the first time I do
+something, I take the time to figure out
+what it is and document it, so then it's
+recorded.
+
+00:07:44.879 --> 00:08:14.400
+So here we find that to do a tangle
+operation, you run the command
+org-babel-tangle, which is an Elisp
+command. If you hit C-c C-c to run it in
+place, you get the result of main.go,
+which basically is telling us that we've
+tangled one file called main.go. You can
+see that that's true if you go to the
+file system and you look.
+
+00:08:14.400 --> 00:08:41.120
+Now in our demo directory, we have a
+README.org, we have that PNG that we
+generated, but we also have a main.go.
+If you visit that file, you'll see that
+it's just the source code that was in
+our documentation, which is exactly what
+we expected and what we wanted. So
+that's good.
+So if we return to where we were at...
+
+00:08:41.120 --> 00:09:43.012
+Now we're at the point where we have a
+file on the file system. Now we need to
+build it and to run it. So let's follow
+the same philosophy, where let's
+document these operations that we're
+going to perform. I'm dropping in a a
+build instruction section and a run
+instruction section. As you can see
+here, we have a little a bash source
+block, and another bash source block.
+This one compiles. The go build command
+is what compiles a file. Then the file
+that gets generated should be called
+demo. So we just run it here. If I type
+C-c C-c, we get an empty results block.
+When you compile things, no news is good
+news. It means there's no errors.
+
+00:09:43.012 --> 00:10:30.839
+So presumably, we've created an
+executable that's called demo. Let's
+look again at the file system and
+regenerate... Yep. What we have here is
+a demo executable, which is exactly what
+we wanted. Let's go back. Now we should
+be able to run it. C-c C-c, and we get
+Hello World as a result, which was
+exactly what we were expecting. So
+that's already pretty cool. You can do
+that much.
+
+00:10:33.040 --> 00:11:09.760
+That's really just the tip of the
+iceberg. To really use the more
+impressive features of literate
+programming, we need to do a little bit
+more at least. Really, to get the full
+benefit of it, we need to add some
+sections that will cause Emacs to have
+to tangle or assemble this file from
+different pieces.
+
+00:11:09.760 --> 00:11:36.240
+Imagine that we wanted to take this file
+and maybe kind of templatize it. So,
+using literature programming syntax,
+this angle bracket syntax, let's say
+that we want to create an imports
+section, a functions section, and then
+maybe just a main section. We'll get rid
+of this.
+
+00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:56.639
+So now you see, we've created something
+that looks a little bit like a template
+or a scaffolding or outline for what our
+file is going to be. It looks a little
+bit like pseudocode. What we're going to
+have literate programming do is
+dynamically insert those things into
+those slots.
+
+00:11:56.639 --> 00:12:36.639
+So the first thing we need to do is...
+So let's create a section called "Say
+Hello." We want to add some
+functionality that makes our program say
+hello. So using a different snippet that
+I have for creating something that I
+call like a literate section, basically,
+we create a another source block that's
+almost the same as the one for the file.
+It just has a few differences. Say we
+want to drop code into the import
+section and we want it to be in Go.
+
+00:12:36.639 --> 00:13:14.399
+Here we use the same :noweb no-export
+syntax, but then we've added this
+:noweb-ref imports, and this ties that
+slot to this reference. It tells Emacs
+that when you tangle, we want to stick
+whatever's in here in that spot. You
+skip the tangle file name section
+because you're not actually creating a
+file name. You're putting information
+into an existing file. So here, we would
+just add the "fmt" for the imports.
+
+00:13:14.399 --> 00:14:10.320
+Let's add another section for functions.
+Let's just create a function called
+sayHello that doesn't have any
+arguments. No return types. All it does
+is pretty much the same thing as we did
+before: just print something. Let's just
+say "Hello EmacsConf" this time. Now we
+have a function, and now the function
+won't do anything unless we invoke it.
+Let's do one last literate section
+called main. Make that Go source block.
+Then let's invoke that function.
+
+00:14:10.320 --> 00:14:39.839
+Now you can see that we've got our
+scaffolding outline, and then we have
+the sections that we want to get tangled
+or inserted. I've used this syntax. It's
+kinda borrowed from literate programming
+a little bit with a +=, so really it's
+just saying that I want to append this
+item into the import section It's really
+just to make a little bit more clear
+what's going on.
+
+00:14:39.839 --> 00:14:57.760
+When you generate documentation, you
+won't see these particular property
+annotations, and so you won't know
+immediately that this section goes in
+the imports area. So I usually put a
+little bit of documentation on top
+there, so that it's easy to see.
+
+00:14:57.760 --> 00:15:21.120
+You would, probably, if this was very
+complicated, you'd put some
+documentation above to explain what you
+were doing, maybe right here. You could
+picture yourself maybe explaining a
+complicated algorithm or something up
+here and having a nice way to document
+it.
+
+00:15:21.120 --> 00:15:28.045
+So now that we've got that here in the
+documentation, we need to figure out...
+We need to make sure that it's going to
+tangle properly.
+
+00:15:28.045 --> 00:16:20.479
+Your best friend at this point is a
+keyboard shortcut that lets you preview
+the tangled operation. If you say C-c
+C-v C-v, it will create a new buffer
+with the tangled contents and so you can
+see here that the fmt import went to the
+right place, that function went to the
+right place, the function invocation
+went to the right place. We're feeling
+good. You can nest these things many
+layers deep. If you came into the
+sayHello function, you could add more
+sections. It'll go through and it'll
+keep track of all that and tangle it for
+you so you really get a lot of freedom
+and flexibility for how you want to
+document things by doing this.
+
+00:16:20.479 --> 00:16:57.645
+So now that we've previewed it and we
+feel good about it, we need to tangle so
+we get the file on the file system. so
+C-c C-c and get... just main.go comes
+back again. C-c C-c and no errors come
+back. Then if we did this right, when we
+run this, we should get "Hello,
+EmacsConf." So C-c C-c, Hello EmacsConf.
+I think that's pretty, pretty cool,
+actually.
+
+00:16:57.645 --> 00:17:23.280
+So we've got the breadcrumbs of the
+process we've gone through to get to
+this point, this initial document that
+has some tangling in it. We have
+documentation for how to tangle, how to
+build, how to run. We've really built a
+nice foundation for moving forward on
+our project and a nice way of breaking
+things out and documenting further.
+
+00:17:23.280 --> 00:17:38.640
+The last piece that we need to
+take care of is the weave that
+I showed you in the diagram above.
+So one more time, we'll drop in
+
+00:17:38.640 --> 00:18:35.520
+some documentation, this time on how to
+weave. It's really just an export
+function. it's not... There's not a
+separate weave command going on here.
+we're just going to export what we've
+got here into a Markdown format. We're
+using org-gfm-export-to-markdown, which
+is the Github style markdown. You can
+use the other, more standard type as
+well. Hit C-c C-c. Now you see we've got
+a README file, and if you look in the
+file system, we've got that right there.
+If you go to something like ghostwriter
+and open that file, now you can see that
+it's generated some documentation.
+
+00:18:35.520 --> 00:18:48.559
+It puts a index at top at the top. I
+usually turn that off. It's easy to do
+that by putting a property at the top of
+your Org file, but some people like to
+have an index.
+
+00:18:48.559 --> 00:19:22.802
+Here you can see that it has generated
+pretty nicely and formatted snippets
+well, put the diagram in there, and then
+it's preserved this literate programming
+syntax, which is important because
+that's how we want to view the
+documentation. That's what the
+no-exports property was trying to
+maintain. no-exports means when you
+export, do not try to tangle.
+
+00:19:22.802 --> 00:19:43.600
+Hopefully that makes more sense now. Now
+you can see all the documentation. I
+think it demonstrates a pretty useful
+feature that's inside of Emacs.
+Hopefully you'll have as much fun using
+that as I have. So thanks!
