Problem: What does a Modern Front-End Development Workflow Look Like?

I want to start writing libraries and large applications using the JavaScript language. However, I don't know how to setup the project and which build tools to use. What I do know is that the JavaScript community has moved way beyond using browser developer tool plugins and strategically-placed console.log() statements to debug, test, and build code.

I need help.

Below, I will keep track of articles, tutorials and tools I come across as I search for a way to bring my front-end development chops up-to-date.

Setup pip and virtualenv in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Pip requires distribute. So we'd install distribute first.

$ cd Downloads/
$ curl -O http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py
$ sudo python distribute_setup.py

Now we can install pip.

	# Tell Rack to run this application using `rackup hello.ru`

	app = lambda { \|env\| [200, { 'Content-Type' => 'text/plain' }, ['Hello, world!']] }
	run app

	# What is `rackup`?
	# `rackup` is an executable that takes the code, finds a web server for it and then runs it.
	# See https://github.com/rack/rack/blob/f65969ccac8f6098acee9b1ab506283dfcdf18a5/bin/rackup.
