Part of me sees things like this and my inner curmudgeon wakes up and yells "This is what happens when you use things that are new but not better! This is standard knowledge that has been around for 20 years! If you only used a _real_ web language/stack you wouldn't be reinventing everything! JMS anyone?!"

However, my better angels re-read it and say "Well, at some point you didn't know all that, and this is actually a well-written intro to the topic".

So ... good article!
