// Q: So, what is this php file?
// A: This helps you create both a files and a database dump backup every X days.
// (I don't trust WordPress backup plugins.)
// This is meant for OpenShift. Persistent folders in the "data" folder are backed up as well as repo "php/" files.

# Place npm packages in your home folder without using sudo
# The lazy approach to installing cli npm programs requires sudo (root) access:
# $ sudo npm install -g somenpmpackage
# Of course, I do not recommend installing npm packages with sudo unless it's required.
# This is how I install CLI tools from npm without sudo:
# $ lib
# $ npm install --save somenpmpackage

Basic JavaScript MVC Implementation

Basic JavaScript MVC Implementation

Despite being derived from classical MVC pattern JavaScript and the environment it runs in makes Javascript MVC implementation have its own twists. Lets see how typical web MVC functions and then dive into simple, concrete JavaScript MVC implementation.

How Web MVC typically works

Typical server-side MVC implementation has one MVC stack layered behind the singe point of entry. This single point of entry means that all HTTP requests, e.g. http://www.example.com or http://www.example.com/whichever-page/ etc., are routed, by a server configuration, through one point or, to be bold, one file, e.g. index.php.

At that point, there would be an implementation of Front Controller pattern which analyzes HTTP request (URI at first place) and based on it decides which class (Controller) and its method (Action) are to be invoked as a response to the request (method is name for function and member is name for a variable when part of the class/object).
