You should know two server-side languages, plus JavaScript. For each language, become familiar with one framework and one micro-framework or DSL.

language	framework	micro-framework
Python	Django	Flask

Pattern Library

Decisions

1. HTML classes allow for rapid prototyping content, however, they tie presentation and content. For that reason we're electing to move the lion's share of the work to SCSS mixins and functions. See: Bourbon Neat.
2. Documentation will happen both inline amongst the source code and in a manually updated pattern library for now. In the research conducted thus far, no automated solutions have met our standards. If one comes along having living documentation that is automatically generated is, in theory, preferable. Worth noting that Bootstrap is manually documented. If it's good enough for Twitter...
3. Our current grid system and all HTML classes under "Layout" are going to be reworked by Mr. Furnes. We're looking to simplify our approach.
4. Further work on NEUE DS is not expected. For that reason all Pattern Library work will happen on feature branches. In order to preserve the development environment for Do Something's current Drupal installation, a local copy of NEUE

Types

A type is a collection of possible values. An integer can have values 0, 1, 2, 3, etc.; a boolean can have values true and false. We can imagine any type we like: for example, a HighFive type that allows the values "hi" or 5, but nothing else. It's not a string and it's not an integer; it's its own, separate type.

Statically typed languages constrain variables' types: the programming language might know, for example, that x is an Integer. In that case, the programmer isn't allowed to say x = true; that would be an invalid program. The compiler will refuse to compile it, so we can't even run it.
