A mistake in ur code in the "reduce" section:

product = 1
for x in seq:
product *= x

If you've used map once, reduce(operator.mul, someList) is both prettier and easier to read than a multi-line loop - but oh well, I just hope functools won't go away.

Unfortunately you are incorrect about PandaWhale using bootstrap.css. I'm not sure whether it's because you're too much of a "pure designer" to have the technical skill required to examine source of a document or use a DOM inspector, but in this case your assumption happened to be incorrect.

Perhaps the styles on PandaWhale resemble those from bootstrap because I've tried not to overstyle the page early on just for the sake of being designer-y, and so far I've been experiencing solid month-over-month growth without having to contract with some presumptuous RISD graduate who can't code anything or contribute anything other than the guiding principal of having "consistent but innovative UI." I ship fucking product, not blog posts about best practices that people who know how to develop are supposed to just take my word on.

The only styles used on the site which was not written by me are those styles which ship with the Dojo Toolkit, and I use those only to provide base styles to javascript widgets which I don't see the value in styling myself.

Great post! I am in the same position as you, Bootstrap has been immensely valuable for me as a developer wanting to quickly knock-up web applications.

While it's very lazy i just discovered http://www.lavishbootstrap.com... which can help you get your colour pallette setup for bootstrap incredibly easily (not associated just think it's shiny)

BTW, I think you should also include a reference to http://www.theleagueofmoveable... . Google Web Fonts contains many more typefaces, but most of them are hideous. Every one of the LoMT is nice and are all available as webfonts for easy inclusion on your site.

Knew about all of these except Subtle Patterns, thanks for that.

What about WordPress and Drupal?

Those are 100% the tools I use while developing for the web. I'm also a developer more than a designer, so those tools make everything much more easy!

Thank you for sharing these resources. Subtle Patterns caught my attention and looks very useful.

That's my bad. Proofreading is important.

A similar alternative to SASS is something called LESS (which the Twitter Bootstrap is built on). Similar functionality, and really useful!

Thumbs up article. For me, Bootstrap has been a big help but I quickly customized it and now you can't tell that my site is using it (as intented). I didn't know the other tools. Thanks :)

Nice references. Bootstrap is Helvetica Neue on my Mac, though, not Arial.

Thanks, other than Kuler these are all new to me but they're all now bookmarked! Very useful!

This guide is very concise and amazing, for me is should form part of the official tutorial?

Yeah, email has to be the MOST secure. Anyone who gets in pretty much accesses everything.

Rafe, you misunderstand why SHA1 is better than MD5. MD5 is widely considered "broken" because collisions are easier to find, NOT because it is easier to calculate a single hash given a single value. Check Max's benchmarks in the same reply as evidence.

I believe the password ajcuivd289 is used by hackers when they take over accounts. See www.healthypasswords.com/conte...
I also saw this explanation in an article analyzing these passwords linked from reddit.

I do the same thing. I always suggest for people to have a completely unique email password.

I keep a SQLite database of passwords, emails, and logins. That way, I can easily query for frequencies of passwords, password prefixes/suffixes, etc.

I think it's always smart to have different "sets" of passwords. For example, I have security set 1 password (strongest, 14 characters minimum, #s and letters, uppercase and lowercase, symbols) which is primarily used for banking/financials ie CCs, schools loans, etc. Security set 2 password (moderate, 6-10 characters in length, letters, numbers, symbols, uppercase and lowercase) used for social media and emails. Security set 3 (weakest, 6-10 characters, uppercase, lowercase, numbers) used for anything I don't use too often or care to remember.
