GitHub OAuth Busy Developer's Guide

GitHub OAuth Busy Developer's Guide

This is a quick guide to OAuth2 support in GitHub for developers. This is still experimental and could change at any moment. This Gist will serve as a living document until it becomes finalized at Develop.GitHub.com.

OAuth2 is a protocol that lets external apps request authorization to private details in your GitHub account without getting your password. All developers need to register their application before getting started.

Asynchronous programming in Tornado

Asynchronous programming with Tornado

Asynchronous programming can be tricky for beginners, therefore I think it's useful to iron some basic concepts to avoid common pitfalls.

For an explanation about generic asynchronous programming, I recommend you one of the [many][2] [resources][3] [online][4].

I will focus on solely on asynchronous programming in [Tornado][1]. From Tornado's homepage:
