Recently the portfolio content has been fleshed out slightly and a rough timeline for the articles I intend to write planned out. I've also plucked for a javascript syntax highlighter for any code examples I include. Heres an example of it in action:
public class HelloWorld : StatementMaker { public override void MakeStatement() { HttpContext.Current.Response.Write("Hello World!"); } }
On a side note I'm massively Looking forward to the Future Of Web Apps in london next week.
I once wrote an article entitled "Why you should make your own site". How clever I was to talk about content ownership and using side projects to learn...Fast forward a decade or more and I'd given myself a long term code and design maintenance project to progressively narrate over the years via various blogs and social media posts... [1], [2], [3], [4], [5] (to name but a few).
Having not made the trip down to Bournemouth for re:develop 1 or 2 it was great to be in attendance for it's third incarnation.
Making games over a weekend... competitively... and we chose a dead technology... why the hell not!
Hack Days are awesome. How could they not be? you get to make stuff with like minded people with no bosses, no client deadlines, no point but the love of it.
It's been a while since I posted. I'd like to say that's because a lot's been going on. In reality I got lazy and now I just happen to have something to write about that can make it sound like a lot has been going on.
