helpsystem - handbook in the art of programming

Detailed description
When hitting F1 then you get help. Often I have problems
with the art of computer programming... it would be really
nice to have some text which adresses some of the more
frequently occuring situations.

For instance one Question-Answer could be:

Question: 
  Howto breakdown problems and solve them?

Answer:
  First identify precisely what the problem is,
  when it occurs.

  Next write a unittest which provokes the bug(s).
  If its a complex problem, then be sure to have
  integritydata to compare against.

  Then it sould be relatively easy to see what 
  is causing the bug.


Above was something that I have made up. But imagine
that we could collect many of such handy advices/hints.

I wonder what more situations occurs often?

* [spawning a new project] how to organize a project?
  versioncontrol, unittest, directoryhierarchy.

* how does a Ruby programmer work? 
  what tools does a programmer use? 
  how does he use his tools?
  write test, write code, write test, write code.

* [deadlines] how to schedule time?
