The introduction to Reactive Programming you've been missing

This tutorial as a series of videos

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.

a simple git branching model (written in 2013)

This is a very simple git workflow. It (and variants) is in use by many people. I settled on it after using it very effectively at Athena. GitHub does something similar; Zach Holman mentioned it in this talk.

Update: Woah, thanks for all the attention. Didn't expect this simple rant to get popular.

Setting up a SSL Cert from Comodo

I use Namecheap.com as a registrar, and they resale SSL Certs from a number of other companies, including Comodo.

These are the steps I went through to set up an SSL cert.

Purchase the cert

Deploying a subfolder to GitHub Pages

Sometimes you want to have a subdirectory on the master branch be the root directory of a repository’s gh-pages branch. This is useful for things like sites developed with Yeoman, or if you have a Jekyll site contained in the master branch alongside the rest of your code.

For the sake of this example, let’s pretend the subfolder containing your site is named dist.

Step 1

Remove the dist directory from the project’s .gitignore file (it’s ignored by default by Yeoman).

	#!/usr/bin/env bash

	echo ">>> Starting Install Script"

	# Update
	sudo apt-get update

	# Install MySQL without prompt
	sudo debconf-set-selections <<< 'mysql-server mysql-server/root_password password root'
	sudo debconf-set-selections <<< 'mysql-server mysql-server/root_password_again password root'

	<?php
	/ Automatically append mtime to script and style versions for cache-busting action /
	add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', function() {
	global $wp_styles, $wp_scripts;

	foreach( array( 'wp_styles', 'wp_scripts' ) as $resource ) {

	foreach( $$resource->registered as $name => $registered_resource ) {

	// Not hosted here

	var myModel = new Backbone.Model(attributes, {options}, anything-else-passed-to-initialize-function);
	/*
	attributes = {data:value, data:value} or [value,value]

	options = {
	collection: {},
	url: '',
	urlRoot: '',
	parse: boolean
	}

	@mixin respond-to($queries...) {
	$length: length($queries);
	@for $i from 1 through $length{
	@if $i % 2 == 1 {
	@media screen and (min-width: nth($queries, $i)) {

	function random_text( $type = 'alnum', $length = 8 )
	{
	switch ( $type ) {
	case 'alnum':
	$pool = '0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ';
	break;
	case 'alpha':
	$pool = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ';
	break;
	case 'hexdec':
