A Brief Introduction to Fabric

Fabric is a deployment management framework written in Python which makes remotely managing multiple servers incredibly easy. If you've ever had to issue a change to a group servers, this should look pretty familiar:

for s in $(cat servers.txt); do ssh $s service httpd graceful; done

Fabric improves on this process by providing a suite of functions to run commands on the servers, as well as a number of other features which just aren't possible in a simple for loop. While a working knowledge of Python is helpful when using Fabric, it certainly isn't necessary. This tutorial will cover the steps necessary to get started with the framework and introduce how it can be used to improve on administering groups of servers.

What is Orthodox C++?

Orthodox C++ (sometimes referred as C+) is minimal subset of C++ that improves C, but avoids all unnecessary things from so called Modern C++. It's exactly opposite of what Modern C++ suppose to be.

	# You will learn why `make` is so great, and why, despite its "weird" syntax,
	# it is actually a highly expressive, efficient, and powerful way to build
