New Blog

Saturday, April 12th, 2008

So, this is my first post. Just a quick introduction to this blog and what you can expect to find here.

Interestingly I’ve always has mixed feelings about blogs. I’ve always been fairly anti personal blogs. They seem to be generally a waste of time, besides, who wants to know what I ate for breakfast? (I skipped breakfast today by the way). So instead of that, I’m going to attempt to make a blog based on my experiences as a developer.

Basically, this blog is going to be strongly focused around programming. I’ll be covering a number of languages and platforms. Most likely this will depend on what I’m using in my studies or in the workplace at that time.

I have a wide range of interests when it comes to programming, including JavaScript, PHP, .NET and everything in between. So you can expect coverage of all these topics in a fairly random order. Depending what takes my interest first!

I’m going to aim to try and do a post weekly, all going well and I’m not on holiday or something.

Some of the following are topic idea’s that I currently have;

  • Design Patterns
  • Cover some of the less well documented PHP features. Such as the magic methods or Soap (SoapClient, SoapServer etc.).
  • Talking about new technologies such as Silverlight or Jaxer.
  • Having fun with JavaScript – like animations and pyhsics.

I’m also open open to suggestions of topics. Feel free to send them in.

Edit;

On a side note, the design and layout of this page is going to be a work in progress. It’s not really the main focus of this website
