Write some code, read a lot of code, read a lot more about writing code.

Any plans to support JVM based languages? I imagine something like Tomcat would work with your ideology of uploading a file (in this case a .jar) via FTP and being up and running. Adding JVM support would add many languages to your supported list quickly :)

I've heard good things about http://www.appfog.com/ who used to specialize in heroku-esque PHP deployments. Perhaps they'd be worth checking out.

Github wants to explain what Git has to offer you. I assume they want to see you as a potential customer, and if nothing else it gives you a real live low-risk git repository to play with after you're done with the tutorial.

It's not that crazy if you think about it. If you're a freelancer working small contracts for people that "want a website", you're pretty free to use whatever technology you'd like. Doubly so if you "provide hosting".

Outside of tech and corporate circles people could really give a damn. They just want to get things done.

At first I thought this was an attempt at trolling, but then I noticed that Mr. Golick is the commenter so therefor I must assume serious intent.

Care to give an answer better than "some book some java dudes wrote 20 years ago said so"?

While I generally agree with SRP, when that single responsibility can be expressed in a single function, I don't see the win with have a class dedicated to it. Smells of pedant OO nonsense.

Is not instantiation etc a cross-cutting concern that violates SRP in this instance?

It has a "Railsier" "Convention over Configuration" type ethos. Certainly more opinionated, if nothing else, where as Backbone is more of an empty canvas & instruments to cover it.

There are technical difference as well, but I think that's less of an issue.

This is a wonderful example of "Working Code Wins". Keep in mind though that often this complexity doesn't scale, for those of you on a team looking to implement similar A/B test code ;)

Way to be scrappy, Patrick.

Obligatory mention of "Inventing on Principle" by Bret Victor (https://vimeo.com/36579366) which explores a lot of similar turf. With Circa though we get to have these things today though, and with C integration to boot. Great work.
