Let’s see . . . after cutting my teeth on Code Igniter, I got into several popular Javascript libraries, and, then, after recently making the switch from XP to Ubuntu, I decided to check out Django.
It was weird; I actually learned more about MVC in regards to PHP and Code Igniter by learning some Python in Django. I’m still a long way from really having a firm grip on the whole thing, but I’m starting to see some real progress in my understanding.
I tell you, though; I wish I had known more about straight PHP functions before I got into frameworks, but it’s been too interesting to complain.
Working from the command-line has really improved my typing skills, too!
This morning I took another look at SVG. I downloaded Inkscape a while back, thinking it was Freehand/Illustrator for Linux. It’s similar in some ways, but the fact that there’s code that can be used to manipulate things has caught my interest. There’s a pretty good introductory tutorial on the Opera Developer website.
Other than that, I’ve spent a lot of time drinking coffee and working on my graphics skills. The Gimp is nice, but it takes a little time to get used to where everything is (I’m used to Fireworks) and establish some kind of work-flow.
Anyway, I’ve neglected this blog for too long, and I felt bad for hurting its feelings. So there it is.
