    <p><strong>How I Start</strong> is a mix between a collection of development tutorials and <a href="http://usesthis.com/">The Setup</a>. The purpose is to both fill a gap in tutorials and give a peek at how some of the top developers do their work.</p>
    <p>Often tutorials and books are overly generic, leaving it up to the reader to wade through all the tools and styles available to a language on their own. These articles are meant for a user who is comfortable with a language in its REPL (if available) or building individual modules, but may not be comfortable taking the step to producing an application or library that is ready to be consumed by others or deployed to production.</p>
    <p>If you have suggestions or questions please contact: <a href="mailto:contact@howistart.org">contact@howistart.org</a>. The code for the site and the articles are both on <a href="http://www.github.com/howistart">Github</a>.</p>
