Site Tech Stack

  • github for code repository and static hosting.
  • git for version control and code management.
  • gitbook (code) https://www.gitbook.com/ for site structure.
  • nvm : Node Version Manager - Simple bash script to manage multiple active node.js versions
  • npm : a package manager for javascript http://www.npmjs.com/
  • node.js : Node.js JavaScript runtime https://nodejs.org
  • plop : modified to suit gitbook article generation automation.
  • gitbook plugins: : disqus, etoc, summary, youtube, ... see codebase.
  • json - structured data; node uses package.json and book.json files to help guide the build of this gitbook.
  • javascript - plop uses js in plopfile.js to guide user interaction on the command prompt for automation in generating new gitbook articles. How does computer programming work? Magic.
  • markdown : cheatsheet - as opposed to markup (html I'm looking at you!)... write your content once using markdown formatting and then wherever it gets posted it takes on the styling characteristics of that site/style.
