@skunkbad Thanks for the feedback. This article really was meant to be a high level overview due to space constraints and because I wanted to make it applicable to a larger audience.
I agree with your points however. If you would like, feel free to shoot me a note via the contact form at CharlesCosta.net and I’ll see if I can do some content around your suggestions.
As @ChrisBurgess mentioned - Sitepoint has a bit more content in the pipe on a variety of technical topics also so definitely stay tuned!
