- king_magic 14y agoTrue.
- uptown 14y agoPerhaps not. But it seems like the author added an unnecessary level of abstraction for parts of the tutorial. It's his tutorial - he can do what he wants ... but it likely slows, complicates, or excludes-from-participating-in people that aren't well-versed in his chosen toolkit of technologies.
- pc86 14y agoI don't know a single tool in that list outside of tangential experience with Ruby. I've worked in some combination of Java, Objective C, C#/VB, PHP, Python and several types of SQL over the last decade. I would hardly call myself a beginner. It doesn't mean this tutorial isn't useful, just that it's only useful for the extremely small subset of developers who happen to use Ruby, HAML, SASS, and CoffeeScript.
