When trying to learn CMake I could not find any good introduction. The CMake documentation is quite good but not suitable for a beginner.

Its a work in progress and I will try to continuously improve it.
I hate it when I have to do extra work to publish and link to things I create on my local computer.
I’m hosting my websites on a small virtual server from Hetzner.

Johannes Auer and I made great progress on the LivelyCouch framework I’ve written about before.
LivelyCouch now allows you to:
The LivelyCouch Event System can be used in your apps whenever you want to trigger some code that should run in the background. This could for example be:
LivelyCouch is all about making life as a CouchDB developer easier. It is designed to fill the gap between a CouchApp and a full fledged web application. Being all written in Node.js it allows you to stick to Javascript throughout your code. We are currently working on getting the source ready to release.
I got pretty excited about Node.js during the last day, especially after discovering that there are already a whole bunch of modules available for it:
