+a note on Tutorial Driven Development
+=====================================
+
+today I decided to investigate some tools like requirejs...
+
+but it always happens to me that at the first stages I'm getting
+huge amounts of information that I don't record anywhere.
+
+then later I forget how I did them, where I find them and worst
+if I have to explain to someone else what I learned it's hard
+to remember everything or the steps I did, the little details and
+so on.
+
+so this time I decided to do something that I thought when started
+to research, there is a place where I have to write something of
+what I do at the precise moment I made it work, and that is the
+commit message of my VCS.
+
+at that point I still remember what I did, where I got the stuff
+I included (I even still have the tabs open in my browser) and
+better than that, if I write a descriptive commit not only I have
+a nice step by step guide but it's associated with the changes I
+did in the repository.
+
+on top of that it's really simple to automate generating nice
+documentation from this, in this commit I'm importing a small
+script that process the git commits that have a body and creates
+a restructured text file for each of the commits in an output
+folder.
+
+after this I convert the numerated "chapters" with rst2html and
+a really cool css from:
+
+http://kevinburke.bitbucket.org/markdowncss
+
+and I get automatically beautiful static documentation.
+
+the steps to generate the documentation right now are::
+
+	git log --reverse --format="%f.rst%n%s%n%b%n%%-%%-%%-%%" | python repo2doc.py
+	cd docs
+	rm all.rst
+	cat *.rst > all.rst
+	rst2html --stylesheet-path=markdown.css all.rst > all.html
+
+stuff to refine
+---------------
+
+a better workflow for Tutorial Driven Development with something
+like a branch for each chapter or something like that.
+
+this is all for now, if I keep improving this guide I just have
+to run the script again to get the new version of the document.
+
+happy tutDD (TDD is already taken ;)
