Welcome to StartupCTO

StartupCTO is a collection of my 'notes from the trenches' on the technical aspects of building a successful Internet startup: everything from finding good engineers to creating HTML emails. The tech is biased toward the stacks that I like (LAMP on the backend; HTML5/CSS3/jQuery on the frontend; CentOS and FreeBSD on the servers), but I've tried to include information on the 'softer' side of engineering too.

If you have and comments or questions (or find something out-of-date), please contact me.
