You should check out: Cooking for Geeks - http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596805890 I got a copy the other day and it is a fun read so far.

I have had some classes that employed a similar method, it works in some cases (small class size, professor and students are very familiar/good rapport) but in general this is how it would go in my experience: - Students group up for 5-10mi

Kind of surprising to not see node+socket.io in there, but it is nice to see some python projects (Celery/Eventlet) doing the same job. I'd be curious to see if they end up swapping that out if/when scaling becomes an issue.

Extracted this out of a side-project that I am currently working on. In about 5 minutes, you can have a GetHipster inspired landing page up and collecting emails/Twitter. Slap on a custom domain and start making your actual app.

Good article. I like that it was more approachable than a journal paper -- as a developer, I am interested in these kind of algorithms but sometimes I don't even know where to begin searching. And as someone without a math PhD, I appreciate

I really liked part one of this series. I find myself falling into the pitfalls that the author described, often without knowing. I find that it can be equally effective to partition a "difficult" project into easy and hard parts to achiev

So did Leah Culver's other web-chat project ( http://leafychat.com/ ) get rolled into this? It looks interesting, I wonder if these type of projects will eventually replace IRC. I could definitely see popular open source projects using this

You might want to take a look at Samuel Clay's NewsBlur project: https://github.com/samuelclay/NewsBlur and see how he handles this problem.

Sounds really awesome, wish I didn't live so far away from SF or had a bit more notice :) Hopefully they stream or have videos up, I really want to see the talks from @ryah, @jashkenas, and @jacobian

Wait...Scott Chacon is with Pocoo Team? My favorite team of superhero coders now has the git guru too? (see the fork me on github link)

I checked the FAQ briefly and didn't see this mentioned -- what happens in regards to the design rights of something I submit? I see that I get a royalty payment and a one-time lump sum, but do I retain the rights to my own design? Can I

This article really hit home for me. Over the past month or so I have been blogging about my own side-projects and things I am reading about or playing with. But now that people are reading it (very few, but people nonetheless), I start f

I wish there was a good way to find designers that are trying to build a portfolio or just like making stuff for the hell of it. I hack around on weekend projects for fun all the time, but I don't have much desire to start a business or tr

Cool! I checked out your src since I am having some troubling finding any node.js projects that aren't a socket.io chatroom or the hello-world HTTP server.

You can roll your own with Qt's Webkit module; load the page programmatically and then render the frame into a QImage and save that as a png/jpg etc. You can use the Python bindings and hack something together in under 50 lines of code. Ho

For 4 weeks in, that is pretty good Python code. Keep up the good work!

Why not just word it as "Read this book"? You pay $X to read the book, you can't lend it, copy it, re-sell it -- just read it (and re-read it if you want).

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't this just websockets, not the whole of Socket.IO (i.e. fallbacks for non-supporting browsers)? There is also: http://github.com/SocketTornadIO/SocketTornad.IO which is a port of Socket.IO that runs on T

How do I take my web app from running locally to being able to serve data to users? Basically the server admin type stuff to serve my Rails/Django/Sintra app. How do things like memcached and Varnish fit into the picture and when is it an

uthash - http://uthash.sourceforge.net/ Dead simple hash data structure, just drop the header file into your project. I used this for almost every C project I did in school (outside of data structures).

I had never heard about Juggernaut -- is it any different than Socket.IO? A cursory glance indicates they are very similar.

I really like the Open Feedback Publishing stuff that O'Reilly is doing (I used it for the Django Book and Apprecticeship Patterns). Is there a list of what books are currently in the program? It would be nice to see the list of what book

When are new Github tshirts coming? What are your thoughts on the BitBucket/Atlassian deal? Are there any new features coming soon that you can give us a sneak peek at? I'd personally like to see some kind of "looking for contributors" inte
