Now that's a micro-framework :P In all seriousness a recent JS project of mine uses http://www.traitsjs.org/ to create a lightweight (in implementation not file size) framework. Traits.js allows you to use Object.create with older browser

The author of the post is working nice hours a day so one can spend three hours with his daughter, it's a pretty big stretch to say he's "child-centered". You bemoan the lack of manners of today's youth. When, prey tell, are children going

As I'm self taught I lean towards the engineering side of software development, should I do a CS crash course before tackling Scala? Any advice on the best CS books to read?

Very nice. I was just thinking the Twitter Bootstrap is great but I'd like something a little lower level. The grey palette is great for mocks too, thanks for the link.

Once upon a time, in a kingdom not far from here, a king summoned two of his advisors for a test. He showed them both a shiny metal box with two slots in the top, a control knob, and a lever. "What do you think this is?" One advisor, an eng

Coming from PHP Rails was a great way for me to learn best practices and get disciplined. Now that I have a good foundation I find myself using Sinatra plus whatever gems fit my small to medium projects. So it might not be that Rails is too

That's cool, so does mine, and I have zero problem with that. However, GoDaddy is not it the elephant butchering business. Slapping their hats on people butchering an elephant strikes me as a crass marketing attempt (even for them).

The logo's rather unfortunate as well. Double entendres can also be visual. A star inside a pink circle? At least it wasn't brown (hit me with your best down vote).

Ruby with Passenger can be used for a simple website. Throw in Sinatra with Datamapper or ActiveRecord and you've got a lightweight setup - with better options for string manipulation than PHP :)
