"Doing it Properly" - The Resource List
By: dXXDFtAq Date: June 27, 2012, 7:08 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Okay, so basically we're going to have a lot of people who
scream "I CAN HTML LET'S DO IT THIS WAY". I'm gonna put forth
this: I've worked in networking and information security for
seven years. I know my shit. Undoubtedly other users have worked
in facets of IT for as long, or much longer, and you are more
than welcome to argue your points in this thread provided your
basis isn't "I like this better".
Software:
Server OS - If anyone suggests Windows, OSX or Solaris, I will
fucking destroy you. We are using Linux. OS is up for debate,
but we're using up-to-date repositories if we go for Debian or
CentOS (I use Arch on my personal servers, contrary to popular
belief I've had not one issue).
Nginx - Reverse proxy, serves static content and passes anything
else to {Flask,Rails,CGI}.
{Flask,Rails,CGI} - We're still debating what scripting language
we want to use here. I personally put forth Rails (Ruby) and
Flask (Python), because in my opinion they're cleaner, simpler
and faster than PHP. That, and I don't have to have a CGI
process running to calculate everything on page load.

Discuss. Idiots will be dealt with accordingly by alternating
between yelling at you and calling you a faggot.
I'll update the OP with resolutions/ideas in the thread.

Good post.
As I said, I work as a freelancer webdev for a huge start-up
(I'll not mention it for obvious reasons).
I can do HTML, CSS, JS (mostly JQuery), and I'm very good with
Photoshop.
That's all.
I use Windows but I have Ubuntu with dual-boot.

Use ArchLinux - it's fast, has big repos and good. I use it on
my PC (as a primary and the only OS).

For a server OS this is really a per-user preference, however
I'm also using Arch right now, and it's my servers' OS. If
there's no argument, we'll run with that because we have at
least two guys. :)

I'm for Arch or CentOS, but since you guys already are for Arch,
I'm supporting that option. I haven't seen much servers on Arch
and I've heard they're prone to problems, but that's only word
of mouth, and you two seem to know your shit and I trust you can
do it right. I can help with nginx, too, but my help would be
limited.
ALSO, I'm strongly against using anything other than PHP. While
ROR or CGI may actually *be* the better option, there are just
too many people on here who are extremely good at PHP or ASP but
have no experience with those others (myself partially
included). I've seen a lot of coders reporting in with PHP but
none with Flask, Ruby on Rails or CGI. Sorry dudes, I just don't
think that'd be OK. We need manpower.
