Here are a few questions that will tee us up for a good conversation:
- Can you tell me about your project in a few sentences?
- What’s the timeframe? Does a certain event depend on this project launching?
- What are you looking for from us? Do you want us to design, build, and launch the whole site? Or do you have developers or other partners lined up and only need us for design?
- Have you already started on any part of the project? Do you have existing work? A new logo? Some rough designs or ideas for the site?
- How large is your team? What are the roles you envision on your end?
- How did you hear about our work? What specifically interests you about it? Any projects that you’re keen on?
- How much money have you set aside for this project?
- Are you talking to others about this project? Might we ask how many? What do you like about their work?
// initial utilities
var gutil = require('gulp-util'); // tools to help, e.g. detect env, colour our output + logging
var changeEvent = function(evt) {
// log
gutil.log('File', gutil.colors.cyan(evt.path.replace(new RegExp('/.*(?=/' + paths.appSrc + ')/'), '')), 'was', gutil.colors.magenta(evt.type));
};
require('autostrip-json-comments'); // https://plus.google.com/+DouglasCrockfordEsq/posts/RK8qyGVaGSr
// 'development' is just default, production overrides are triggered by adding the production flag to the gulp command e.g. `gulp build --production`

Nginx Basics

#Nginx Basics for Ubuntu

Please see http://wiki.nginx.org/Main for more information. See http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2012/11/how-to-set-up-a-safe-and-secure-web-server/ for a tutorial on how to install Nginx.

##Installation To install, you can install the version which is in the standard Ubuntu repositories but it is normally quite old and will not have the latest security patches. The best way is to update the repositories first:

apt-get update
apt-get install python-software-properties

apt-get upgrade

A Capistrano Rails Guide

A Capistrano Rails Guide

by Jonathan Rochkind, http://bibwild.wordpress.com

why cap?

Capistrano automates pushing out a new version of your application to a deployment location.

I've been writing and deploying Rails apps for a while, but I avoided using Capistrano until recently. I've got a pretty simple one-host deployment, and even though everyone said Capistrano was great, every time I tried to get started I just got snowed under not being able to figure out exactly what I wanted to do, and figured I wasn't having that much trouble doing it "manually".
