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.

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.
