Creating a Web App in Erlang with Chicago Boss and Riak from Scratch
- adamors 12y agoIs it me, or these blog posts built on memes are a tad annoying? I can't really take the content seriously anymore.
- acoyfellow 12y agoBuilt on memes? You mean because he used memes as images within the tutorial / blog post? I'm not quite understanding what you mean. I'd encourage you to read it, regardless if you don't like the memes. I found this article to be really awesome, as I've been thirsty for good Erlang resources.
- adamors 12y agoWell, even the graphs contain memes.
- pselbert 12y agoMost any post, tutorial or README that includes memes as part of the content loses my respect a little. It instantly dates the content and alienates those who perhaps approach software more seriously. Imagine viewing man pages with embedded cat photos in 15 years.
- btbuildem 12y agoHopefully the authors would update the pages.. but yes.
- Sypro 12y agoIt's 2014 guys, not 80s or something. No-one needs to be forced by the author to read black texts over white background. Using memes, which are the most popular way of expressing feelings nowadays, is a good way to keep reader focused on the content without boring them bunch of new or uncommon stuff. If that was about php/mysql article, "adamors" might be right but this is a piece of information that we can call "priceless". So, enjoy and go try even if you fail.
- soulsmasher 12y agoDon't books get revisions ? So in the future, why not the content (as in images, "meme"s in addition to text itself) ? Come on guys, the article is not about "memes", but what's described at all. Through the read I've quite enjoyed and memes were placed correctly. Kudos author(s). Looking for the rest of series.
