Hi Nicholas,

I saw you tweet about JSX yesterday. It seemed like the discussion devolved pretty quickly but I wanted to share our experience over the last year. I understand your concerns. I've made similar remarks about JSX. When we started using it Planning Center, I led the charge to write React without it. I don't imagine I'd have much to say that you haven't considered but, if it's helpful, here's a pattern that changed my opinion:

The idea that "React is the V in MVC" is disingenuous. It's a good pitch but, for many of us, it feels like in invitation to repeat our history of coupled views. In practice, React is the V and the C. Dan Abramov describes the division as Smart and Dumb Components.

Solr Query Syntax Basics

This is a super basic beginners guide to Solr Lucene query syntax. We're going to cover running a straightforward query, as well as some of the more useful functionality such as filtering and creating facets. We'll point out some things you can't do and generally give you enough instruction so that you can get yourself into trouble.

For testing you need a REST client capable of sending requests to your Solr instance. Either RESTClient for Firefox or Postman for Chrome are good choices.

Misc

Request Specific Fields

To specify a list of fields to return instead of the default Solr response use fl and provide a comma delimited list of fields:

	import android.util.Base64;
	import java.io.IOException;
	import java.net.URLEncoder;
	import java.security.InvalidKeyException;
	import java.security.KeyFactory;

	Ansible playbook to setup HTTPS using Let's encrypt on nginx.

	The Ansible playbook installs everything needed to serve static files from a nginx server over HTTPS.
	The server pass A rating on [SSL Labs](https://www.ssllabs.com/).

	To use:
	1. Install [Ansible](https://www.ansible.com/)
	2. Setup an Ubuntu 16.04 server accessible over ssh
	3. Create `/etc/ansible/hosts` according to template below and change example.com to your domain
	4. Copy the rest of the files to an empty directory (`playbook.yml` in the root of that folder and the rest in the `templates` subfolder)
