  1. Step 1 - Disregard dogma “Unit tests first” is a

    dirty lie https://flic.kr/p/aTSiXF
  2. Step 3 - Create a cookbook By hand. Be a

    wizard. https://flic.kr/p/3mMW6e
  3. Step 4 - Embed a test cookbook. By hand. Be

    a wizard. Again. https://flic.kr/p/ai36NG
  4. rubocop -a git init git add . git commit -a

    -m 'v0.0.1 - cookbook skeleton' git tag v0.0.1
  5. rubocop -a rspec ; echo $? git add . git

    commit -a -m “v0.1.0 - my_file resource” git tag v0.1.0
  6. Pure Ruby resources utilize - The Ruby Standard Library -

    Chef helper libs (mixlib-shellout) - Ruby gems
  7. load_current_value - Runs at converge time - Just before the

    action body - Loads desired state values
  8. converge_if_changed - Runs if any desired_state: true property differs from

    user input - desired_state: false avoids comparison
  9. coerce transforms values - Called when property is set -

    Called when property is read - Use this to raise errors on bad input
  10. Composite resources - Reuse Chef resources - Actions look like

    recipes - Do not use load_current_value
