A plan

It’s been just under 2 months since my last post, and three and a half months since I posted anything about programming. I haven’t had any grand code related inspirations lately and my upcoming work projects don’t promise anything.

I an effort to expand my knowedge base I’ve decided to learn a new language and undertake working with a full fledged framework for the first time. My webiste has suffered one of the worst cases or bit rot that I’ve seen. I’ve decided to redesign it and build it all using Python and Django. It will also give me a chance to work with JQuery and to experiment with some database design ideas.

I’ve also decided to kill two birds with one stone and work on being a better blogger at the same time. As such I’ll be doing my best to document everything I go through with this project. Look for that late this month or early in December.

    Mmmm… Python. I might have to look into Django, looks promising! I’ve been poking Drupal a bit and I think I’m going to launch my website with a Drupal backend. Not sure when yet. I do love JQuery though, that’s good stuff. Keep us posted!

    Nitpick: jQuery, not JQuery :)

    I’m a huge fan of jQuery. I’ve also read a lot on Python but haven’t really written anything in it yet. However, rather than go straight web first, I considered trying to do some Project Euler challenges in Python.

    Perhaps a combination of the two: Solving PE stuff in Django? :D Hmm.

    I’ve also thought about using JavaScript directly to solve PE stuff, but unless I’m in one of the newer browsers, it’d be horrendously slow.
