So, You Want to be a Systems Engineer

Systems Engineering (also known as Infrastructure Engineering, Operations Engineering, or DevOps) is a challenging but rewarding career path. Because Systems Engineering draws from a wide variety of smaller topics, it can be hard to know where to start and in what order to begin. This resource is intended to give you a sketch of some of the learning-paths that that can lead you to a career in Systems Engineering.

What do I need to know?

To start, let's examine a high-level list of topics that established systems engineers should have knowledge of. In each of these topics, the level of depth required to get started as a systems engineer may vary, but it's good to have a general breadth of knowledge on all of these topics.

These lists are not exhaustive, rather a good starting point to gain general knowledge.

A simple express.js server with a proxy that intercepts all requests with /api/ and proxies them to localhost:3000
var express = require('express'),
httpProxy = require('http-proxy'),
app = express();
var proxy = new httpProxy.RoutingProxy();
function apiProxy(host, port) {
return function(req, res, next) {
if(req.url.match(new RegExp('^\/api\/'))) {
proxy.proxyRequest(req, res, {host: host, port: port});

So, You Want to be a Frontend Engineer

Frontend Engineering is a challenging but rewarding career path. Working on the frontend began with the inception of the internet, the web browser and its core technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript), but has become significantly more complex over the past 26 years. Because most frontend engineering occurs in the context of multiple iterations of a Browser, it contrasts with other disciplines like Backend Engineering which tends to focus on a single stable platform. This resource is intended to give you a sketch of some of the learning-paths that can lead you to a career as a Frontend Engineer.

Got a .coffee file with JSX? Here's how you can transpile to .js with Reacts JSX parsed.
`/** @jsx React.DOM */`
converter = new Showdown.converter
Comment = React.createClass
render: ->
rawMarkup = converter.makeHtml @props.children.toString()
`<div className="comment">
<h2 className="comment">{this.props.author}</h2>
<span dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{__html: rawMarkup}} />
