How was your experience with running Ubuntu on Virtual Box? I got tired of Windows screwing up GRUB everytime I update it that I tried running Linux virtually and found the display to be the weakest link even with 3D acceleration turned on.

Wow, that was a great talk. I really didn't like React and didn't get why they've decided to mix concerns but I think I've understood their design decisions now. I think I'll go give it another try sometime soon.

This deserves its own blog post. You can probably skip explaining client.js (which seems to be stuff one can learn from React's docs) and just dive in to server.js and the npm packages that you wrote that this app uses. I've been

What about Pluralsight subscribers? Do they get access to Tekpub? I think Peepcode got acquired by Pluralsight and I don't think Pluralsight subscribers got access to Peepcode content.

Seems like this can easily be extended to add other non-input related elements like lists and such. Then it can be renamed PageBuilder.js. Any plans to do so?
