Hi Nicholas,

I saw you tweet about JSX yesterday. It seemed like the discussion devolved pretty quickly but I wanted to share our experience over the last year. I understand your concerns. I've made similar remarks about JSX. When we started using it Planning Center, I led the charge to write React without it. I don't imagine I'd have much to say that you haven't considered but, if it's helpful, here's a pattern that changed my opinion:

Essential JavaScript Links

Install portaudio using homebrew (or method of your choice)

brew install portaudio

create $HOME/.pydistutils.cfg using the include and lib directories of your portaudio install:

[build_ext]

This script for Google Spreadsheets allows you to generate slugs for your data such as might be used for creating unique urls.

3	bar	BAZ
4	FOO	baz-bing

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.

Previous versions used homebrew to install the various versions. As suggested in the comments, it's better to use pyenv instead. If you are looking for the previous version of this document, see the revision history.
