= Welcome to StartupCTO 2 = StartupCTO is a collection of my 'notes from the trenches' on the technical aspects of building a successful Internet startup: everything from [[people:hr:how-to-find-good-tech-folks|finding good engineers]] to [[marketing-tech:html-email:tips-and-tricks|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 If you have and comments or questions (or find something out-of-date), please [[:about|contact me]].
