 ### Example Ansible playbooks
+Ansible is far easier to learn when you can read how more full-featured 
+playbooks are built using many tasks. An interesting note from my own 
+experience is that when you get more experienced using Ansible there are
+many shortcuts in the task syntax so you can often make playbooks that have
+fewer lines of code than when you were less experienced yet the readability
+does not suffer.

+Check out some of these example playbooks to learn more about how you may
+be able to structure your playbooks:
+
+* The 
+  [prod directory](https://github.com/mattmakai/fsp-deployment-guide/tree/master/prod) 
+  under the 
+  [Full Stack Python Deployment Guide open source project code](https://github.com/mattmakai/fsp-deployment-guide)
+  contains a full playbook for deploying a standard [Nginx](/nginx.html),
+  [Gunicorn](/green-unicorn-gunicorn.html) and [PostgreSQL](/postgresql.html)
+  stack.
 
 * [mac-dev-playbook](https://github.com/geerlingguy/mac-dev-playbook)
+  configures macOS with various applications and developer tools such as
+  [Docker](/docker.html), Homebrew and [Sublime Text](/sublime-text.html).
