Project Ideas

Ok. I'm going to list off some ideas for projects. You will have to determine if any particular idea is good enough to include in a portfolio. These aren't creative ideas. They likely already exist. Some are way too advanced while others are simplistic.

I will recommend to post any project you make to github and make a github project page for it. Explain in as much detail as possible how you made it, how it can be improved etc. Document it.

If you pick an advanced idea, setup a development roadmap and follow it. This will show some project management skills.

Another piece of advice for those who are design challenged. Use different front end frameworks and use different themes for those frameworks to provide appealing designs without looking like yet another bootstrap site.

Semantic Commit Messages

See how a minor change to your commit message style can make you a better programmer.

Format: <type>(<scope>): <subject>

<scope> is optional

Example

Deploying a node app with Forever is great...until your server restarts unexpectedly. Then your app stops running and you have to re-deploy.

To get around this, we're going to run our node app as an Upstart service. Upstart services are great, because, once started, the system auto-restarts them if they fail, or if the server restarts.

###Step 1: Create a service for your node app

ssh in as root ssh root@youripaddress
Create a node-app.conf file in /etc/init
IMPORTANT: whatever filename you pick is what you will use to start|stop|restart your service i.e. service node-app start

##Setup your server (this would ideally be done with automated provisioning)

add a deploy user with password-less ssh see this gist
install forever npm install -g forever

##Install flightplan

npm install -g flightplan
in your project folder npm install flightplan --save-dev
create a flightplan.js file

(wherever it says url.com, use your server's domain or IP)

Login to new server as root, then add a deploy user

sudo useradd --create-home -s /bin/bash deploy
sudo adduser deploy sudo
sudo passwd deploy

And Update the new password

These are my notes basically. At first i created this gist just as a reminder for myself. But feel free to use this for your project as a starting point. If you have questions you can find me on twitter @thomasf https://twitter.com/thomasf This is how i used it on a Debian Wheezy testing (https://www.debian.org/releases/testing/)
