Introducing the sprockets asset pipeline

The sprockets asset-pipeline (https://github.com/rails/sprockets) is a Rack (https://rack.github.io/) based framework for preparing assets (e.g., images, CSS, javascript) to be served with web pages. It is primarily part of the Rails framework (http://rubyonrails.org/), but it also used by other Rack based frameworks, such as sinatra (http://www.sinatrarb.com/) and middleman (https://middlemanapp.com/).

Andrew Sullivan Cant (http://andrewsullivancant.ca/) will review basic usage of the asset pipeline. He will also dig into some of the details of how it works, and what features you can take advantage of in your own applications.
