totally agree. great post.

when i started getting into learning Sinatra on Windows I had problems seeing the changes I made to the app when ever I refreshed the browser. Shotgun did not even work! At that point 2 people recommended I switch to Ubuntu which I did though it took me quite a while getting it working on both of my laptops. Not for the faint of heart newbie. It was totally worth all the paint though.

i also suggest people get into VIM. its hard to get a hang of if one is used to regular editors, but work flow speed increases tremendously i have been noticing.

Like many others, I got into Web development via PHP. I’ve since learnt Python and Django, which I really enjoy. I’m looking forward to learning Ruby soon, too, although Ruby code looks cryptic to me!

I really appreciate the ways in which Python enables common tasks to be performed with terse (but highly readable) code:

# switch the values of two variables
x, y = y, x

# list comprehension
boys = [student for student in students if student.gender == 'male']

Someone on Stack Overflow wrote that Python is “executable pseudocode”, which is one of its main appeals. I’m looking forward to getting my head around Ruby to find out what @ll the |fuss| << is about. :D

Debian users: Install libnotify-bin
Just libnotify wont always work, at least it didn’t for me until I installed libnotify-bin.

There is also github gem that can be helpful to use more advanced features from Github’s services. There is more information about it at http://github.com/defunkt/github-gem
