Blog - My web development

I'm currently doing PHP in my spare time working on creating little things to keep my brain working and also actively seeking new ways of doing things. Because I do Ruby on Rails and ASP at my workplace, it's nice to use different ideas from those languages to implement them in PHP. I've just stuck with PHP because it is a very fast and easy language to learn, and there is bulk loads of documentation out there for it. At a recent conference I was told PHP has already passed it's used by date... but he was an American. He was in love with Ruby on Rails as he was a Twitter developer. I like Ruby on Rails, but I find it hard to push the development in PHP aside and start from square one again in a new language. Maybe one day...

New tag search has been added to gallery images, blog comments and articles. To search by the tags, just click on one of the words in the right options.

Another module to my CMS :).

Got so many ideas floating around at the moment but I think it's time to get some tutorials going.

Please feel free to join the site and make comments as feedback is always good.

Keep posted

Been spending most of my development time on creating a ticketing system to keep on top of all my ideas as well as an API so I can actually remember how to use my own code without having to go into the source!

No time for tutorials at the moment as development time is being spent elsewhere, but still plan to bust some out.

It's been a while since I've posted but I had a nice long break over the holidays and didn't touch the computer much. But since being back at work I've got back into the swing of things. One new feature on the website allows you to connect to your Facebook account and post up my article on your wall if you like it :). At this stage I've kept it to the articles section of the website.

Look out for the new Perth Street Car. I'm currently building and programming a newly designed and functional website. It is already a very established car magazine, but we just needed to provide a better experience online. Keep posted for the new look coming soon... Here is a little teaser:

I decided to do some design work of my own instead of programming work. I chose to create a golfing landscape as I enjoy it very much and gives a calming feel to the website (I think anyway). Should you like to choose the older design, just look in the top left corner of the website and select the blue & orange theme.

Since I already had the graphics for a pretty cool little flash application Mod My RS. I decided I would extend the application and update the code to use Action Script 3. It is proving to be a much better way to code things, but it is taking a while to learn as I progress through! Currently I've got the new colour selection area allowing many more colours to be created.
