Congrats to the TokBox team. I know Jonathan Mumm (met him at a hackathon last year). He was an amazing dude, and one of the best developer evangelists I've had the pleasure of working with. Best of luck to the ToxBox team! :D

I do this via HTTP Basic auth + ssl. On Heroku you get SSL for free ( https://myapp.herokuapp.com ), so that + basicauth works pretty well. EDIT: Wanted to add that I love doing it on Heroku as you get the automatic load balancing so you ca

This looks pretty sweet. I was actually thinking of doing something similar myself after rolling my own auth app several times in python / flask for my web services. A nice CRUD API for handling users (+ emailing users / registration) would

Totally. In general though, developers need to write better documentation for any application--not just SOA stuff. There are tons of private applications running in production that are obfuscated as hell, and have no supporting documentatio

Wrote the book using Sphinx. If I had to do it over again, I'd likely use Markdown + custom tools. I'm actually planning to write a blog post about this next week some time :)

I completely understand this, and believe it to be true. My motivation for writing the book was primarily to get the information out there. I really love the Heroku platform, and would like to spread the knowledge around as much as possible

Right now there's just a PDF, but I'm working on getting it into the kindle store. If you'd like a PDF before the Kindle copy comes out, send me an email (rdegges@gmail.com) and I'll send you a free one to hold you over :)

Just updated the gumroad payment page so it now allows users to pay more than 5$ if they want to. :)

Both (I'm the author). It covers Heroku from the ground up. I've had people of many different skill levels review the book, and so far its had extremely positive feedback. If you're on the fence, send me an email (rdegges@gmail.com) and I'l

Hey there, I'm using Gumroad to accept payment / etc. If for some reason you can't download the book, let me know and I'll email you a copy personally. Sorry for the issues! You can also email me if you prefer: rdegges@gmail.com

Hey thanks for the comment! I'm the author. I'm extremely flattered by your comment. I didn't really think about pricing it any higher than 5$. Will definitely reconsider. Really appreciate the feedback.

I use Dropbox, I'll tell you why: - It integrates nicely with Ubuntu's unity UI. You get a nice tray icon that shows when files are being uploaded / downloaded, what % the transactions are at, how fast they're going, ETA, etc. - It never ev

Excellent article on Arrays. I wish I knew about these before, there have been so many times I should have used this instead of serializing / deserializing JSON myself via TextFields :(

I know this comment isn't really 'on-topic', but ugh--seeing URLs with 'index.php' in them just drives me crazy. https://blog.dropbox.com/index.php/dropbox-in-space/

I've got lots of friends in tech startups (all programmers), and one thing I hear over and over again is how much they hate their cofounders. A lot of the time, information like that isn't really made public through blogs and such, so readi

This seems pretty harsh. As someone who is running my own API company in an industry filled with red tape and regulations, I can fully understand a high price, especially when getting started. Often times (at least in my industry--telephony

Awesome job! I did this last year and lost almost exactly ~100lbs (along with exercise). Would you mind editing your post and adding in some resources for other people interested in the scientific information? I'm assuming that others will

Heya, good luck with the new site. One thing I think may help you out is to spend a bit more time editing your copy. I've noticed that a lot of the wording comes off awkwardly to me (I'm a native English speaker), and I'm guessing that with

This is an excellent article--if you aren't familiar with Armin's writing, you should read all his stuff, he always writes insightful long-form posts which do a tremendous job of making complex topics understandable. I'd like to just point

So, this is a pretty decent advice. Basically, the author's idea is that if you: - Treat finding a CTO like a full-time job, - Learn to build some basic HTML, - Read a book on Ruby / Git / Rails, You should be able to find a good CTO for
