Rob Story wrobstory

Backstory: I decided to crowdsource static site generator recommendations, so the following are actual real world suggested-to-me results. I then took those and sorted them by language/server and, just for a decent relative metric, their Github Watcher count. If you want a heap of other projects (including other languages like Haskell and Python) Nanoc has the mother of all site generator lists. If you recommend another one, by all means add a comment.

Ruby

Jekyll 5,676
Octopress 2,696
Middleman 685
NestaCMS 664
Statis 509
Nanoc 355

Collections

each(array)

Underscore example:

_.each([1, 2, 3], function(num) { alert(num); });

Flask + uWSGI + nginx Primer

How this shit works

Flask is managed by uWSGI.
uWSGI talks to nginx.

This is a non-technical reading list for technical people.
