Portfolio site for Brian Martin, Web Developer

Twitter Bootstrap: CSS Grid framework plus jQuery plugins used to create this web site
Handlebars.js: A logicless templating system used to keep code separated (HTML/CSS/JS)
jQuery 1.7.2: This replaces the default version of jQuery only on front facing pages, while admin pages use legacy jQuery
Module Pattern: A JavaScript Module Pattern (inspired by Douglas Crockford) was used to develop the Ajax system for the front end
Web Fonts: Google Web Fonts are being used for the fonts on this site.

Pressflow 6: A backport of Drupal 7, includes all of the code performance boosts with none of the bloat
Varnish HTTP Accelerator: A super fast reverse proxy server to serve up cached pages as static HTML
APC: The Alternative PHP Cache (APC) is a free and open opcode cache for PHP.
Memcache: This caches SQL queries into memory for a huge performance boost
Apache Solr: Apache Solr was used to index this site and is much faster than the default drupal search
Drupal Modules/Theme: The custom theme and custom modules for this site were developed by me

DenyHosts: Blacklists IP Addresses that try to brute force my SSH and automatically reports them to their ISP
Fail2ban: Scans logs of other services for suspicous behavior and bans an IP Address for a set amount of time
Tiger auditing/intrusion detection: Tiger scans the system looking for ways to increase security and detect intrusions
Mod Security: An Apache application firewall that protects against malicous attacks
Mod Evasive: Helps protect apache from a DDoS attack

Site Map XML: You can specify which types of content go into your site map and submit them to the major search engines
Global Redirect: When the site is queried for a file that wasn't found, it smartly searches for broken alias and does a 301 redirect
Content: The navigation bar is at the bottom of the page, moving the more relevant content in the page to the top of the code
Best Practices: I always use WWW in my domains (to not split your ranking between 2 domains), I use heading tags to specify more important content, I use targeted keywords, I submit my site to all the major search engines, etc.

Linode: Hosting is setup through linode.com, allowing me to configure the VPS however I want
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS: It was either Ubuntu or Fedora/CentOS, I would have loved to get my hands on a copy of Red Hat
Apache2: Web server with very custom configuration
Git: Git is being used as the version control for this site
Postfix: A mail server I setup for this domain (still working out some kinks)
Dovecot: IMAP/POP3 server for storing emails

Server Upgrades: Pressflow, Varnish, Memcache, APC and potentially Akamai give the site the ability to scale extremely well
Fast 404: In a normal Drupal project, a 404 page invokes Drupal without any caching (very bad) but we return a fast, simple 404 page
Authcache: Not really necessary for this site, but if we supported Drupal Users Autchcache would be critcal since Drupal Users bypass all caching (very bad)
Scaling Modules: I get crazy looks when I say this but I don't use Views (and many other commonplace modules) simply because they do not scale well

Responsive Design: As the width of your monitor gets smaller, this website responds by stacking the columns of the site on top of each other

Fluid Layout: When between different resolutions this design will stretch to fit the screen no matter the width

Mobile Site: Try viewing this site on your mobile device, and you'll get an experience optimized just for you

Agile/Scrum: I typically use Agile/Scrum, but this site is just a personal project and doesn't need it

Rapid Development: Using these frameworks allows me to do development rapidly and meet deadlines

JIRA/Confluence: Any bug tracking system will do, but JIRA is really nice, especially when backed up by confluence
