If you prefer to watch video tutorials with live-coding, then check out this series I recorded with the same contents as in this article: Egghead.io - Introduction to Reactive Programming.

I wrote this in early January 2012, but never finished it. The research and thinking in this area led to a lot of the design of Yeoman and talks like "Javascript Development Workflow of 2013", "Web Application Development Workflow" and "App development stack for JS developers" (surpisingly little overlap in those talks, btw).

Now it's June 2013 and the state of web app tooling has matured quite a bit. But here's a snapshot of the story from 18 months ago, even if a little ugly and incomplete. :p

In the beginning…

Intro to tooling

It's with a heavy heart that I announce that Friday, May 31 2013 will be my last day at Heroku.

How can I possibly put into words what Heroku has meant to me these last six years? I can say it was a tremendous experience; or the opportunity of a lifetime; or the greatest thing I have ever been a part of. I can say that Heroku has been my life's work, as I did recently in a public blog post. All of those things are true, but none seem to capture the enormity of what's transpired these past six years.

I tend to focus on mechanical elements of a company: product, code, design, process. But what has surprised me the most at Heroku is that none of these things is the best part. The best part is the team.

I've never had the chance to work with a more singular group of people. Talented, passionate, skilled, dedicated. Most of all, sharing a set of values: elegance, craft, maniacal focus on simplicity; and an uncompromising belief that the future will be made of software, and how that software gets made will shape
