MVC is a phenomenal idea.

Teacup is a library for RubyMotion that let’s you create views and layouts in simple declarative code.

At Rapportive we use git extensively for its powerful branching and merging capabilities.

I'm one of the core committers to the [Pry REPL](http://pry.github.com/).

Git is an incredibly powerful tool for version control.

Ruby is renowned for both its readability and its flexibility.

One of the amazing advantages of git is that you can create commits locally on your own computer.
