So many things to read, cool stuff to try, great tools to use but where can we start? Answer inside.

Hey there,
This site is still maintained! I was running my personal site on pelican and I just decided to move to jekyll, it’s more popular and easier to maintain.

Now that I use grunt, the JavaScript Task Runner my life has changed! It makes task automation so cool that it is a must-have in every web project (and even sometime in other projects!). There’s also a great alternative called Gulp.js. It is probably better if you are starting, but because I am used to Grunt, I did not move to that fancy new tool yet.

Hi there,
Welcome to my blog. This is my first post (in fact, it’s my second). I first attempted to create my blog with wagtail but I had a blocking issue. Edit: problem solved, but I’m happy with pelican! Anyway, I’m glad you’re here, I made a branch and moved my work to Pelican.

Do you write tests? Or do you skip them because it’s too complicated to run? Or maybe developers on your team just don’t care?

This blog post can show you.
