We'll never know where Go excels unless we build lots of things with it first :)

I'd be very interested in reading a blog post about the data modeling process, especially if you find yourself changing it further as you receive more traffic.

Thank you for open sourcing this. I've been itching to dive into some production ready Go code, and I've got a lot of interest in Angular.

I loved the presentation. Once I was done reading, I scrolled back up just to view the whole thing again. Now, time to try the game :)

This is awesome. I've watched some of John's AngularJS videos before, and they've been the best resources on the subject that I've seen.

His earlier stuff on ActionScript 3 and design patterns was superb, too.

Very nice. This is one of those things where I don't need it right now, but in 2 weeks I'll be thinking "where the hell is that bookmark..." :)

I signed up. I'm a self taught guitar player, and although I've made pretty good progress, sometimes it's tough to make time to practice. I'm hoping that weekly lessons will inspire me to make time for it.

Good luck!

Nice idea and implementation.

I noticed a typo in the About copy on the main page: "along with apply personal tags" should be "along with applying personal tags"

Slick presentation, but simply takes too long to display data and seems buggy - caused my phone to freeze.

Seconded. I'd love having access to an API.

Great job on the site.

Very nice. I was about to hand roll my own implementation of this, but this just saved me some time :-)

I like how there's a working demo right there on the page - it's nothing groundbreaking but it definitely adds a bit more polish.

Something I'm wondering about - would it pay to have some sort of "variable" key binding whose value would differ depending on the user's OS (if this is even possible)? For example, instead of binding both command+k and ctrl+k, I would bind one combination that would work both on Mac and Windows systems. This isn't a deal breaker or major issue by any means, but I'd be interested to know if it can be done.

The tutorial definitely glosses over some information that you would need to research later on.

For a more in-depth guide, check out the Pro Git book @ http://git-scm.com/book. You can read it online for free.

Runs a bit slow, but impressive nonetheless. I appreciate the simple but effective interface.

I love when sites do something like this in order to give potential users a quick taste of a language or technology. I already learned Git using the Pro Git book, but this would have come in handy as an introductory lesson.

This also reminds me the of the awesome tryruby.org

It shouldn't have to. He may not have the option to write Coffeescript at his job, or he simply may not want to (for any number of reasons.)

I'd be interested to know what language(s) the author is using for these MOVE applications.

I primarily use PHP, and have gotten in the habit of using a service layer to handle business operations. I've found that it's worked extremely well, and so far does not seem restrictive. It's let me clean up my controllers and models quite nicely.

It's been awhile since I've used the RobotLegs Actionscript framework, but its 'implementation' of the MVC pattern seems awfully close to MOVE.

Overall, I think the author makes a good case of how to improve MVC application development, regardless of whether the name should change or not :)

> Now, if this is just a hobby, who gives a shit? Roll with the cool kids. If you're starting a business, be aware that the future welfare of your family is relying on your decisions. Think real hard about that.

Truer words have never been spoken. When you think about it that way, these types of arguments about why language X rocks/sucks become trivial and unimportant.

I like to geek out over languages and technologies as much as the next guy, but there needs to come a time when you put your foot down and make a decision based on more important reasons than personal preference/feelings towards a language.

I would say yes, although to varying degrees depending on the framework. IMO, the safest bet would be to use an 'enterprise' level framework (Zend, Symfony2). But, as jrgnsd mentioned in his reply, even within the context of a framework, an inexperienced developer can still make plenty of mistakes and poor design choices. Learning the framework isn't enough, the developer must also take care to adhere to best practices in software design.

I don't think there's anything preventing you from using Services in other (PHP) frameworks, it's just that Symfony2's Dependency Injection Container component makes it very simple and straight-forward. I think it'd be trivial for other PHP 5.3 compatible frameworks to adopt this component to facilitate using Services themselves.

I second this. Symfony2's use of Services is refreshing, and I feel that having been made aware of this practice, I now write better software. While reading the article, I kept thinking "this sounds just like a Service class."

As someone who's excited to be learning Python, seeing tools like this makes me even happier. Thanks! I have a feeling going back to PHP is going to be very difficult for me :)

Maybe, maybe not, either way I don't think that's why it was phrased that way. I have no idea of the internals of the team, but I've seen the female terms used instead of the male terms more frequently when referencing software engineers than in other fields. It's just how some people write it.

I signed up for two reasons:

- I'm a seasoned PHP dev with an interest in Python + Django

- I appreciate your interesting pricing scheme :)

I'm also a PC user, so I hope when (if?) you release a Windows installer you'll send out an email.

One criticism - I think you should have a 'confirm password' field after signing up.

Good luck with this, I'm interested to see how it works out for you.
