This is just an update post about what I’m up to at the minute and my ideas for this site for the future.
Lately I’ve been messing around learning ASP.NET MVC which has been interesting, but I haven’t had time for much else. Luckily I’ve done a lot of PHP and classic ASP programming so the c# syntax wasn’t too new and I love CodeIgniter so the MVC part wasn’t scary either.
Now I’m working on trying to set up a database access layer in Visual Studio to connect to a Sybase database we have on the development server at work which isn’t so straight forward. Maybe I should start using Twitter so I can just tweet when I get stuck with things like this.
I’ve also been doing a lot of work on one of my clients sites and updating my portfolio site to make it look a bit better. I was thinking of re-doing this site so it’s a bit more simple but I’m worried about damaging my rankings in the search engines. I’ll have to give it some thought.
In the future I’m going to try and add more tutorial posts and less roundup posts because I think there’s waayyy too many of those on the internet now, my RSS reader is packed full of them.
Finally, I ordered the Smashing Magazine book (not an affiliate link) last week (a bit late, I know) but I’ll maybe get some photos and or a review up when it comes and I’ve had a chance to look at it.
Edit: Ok, I’ve decided I’m going to try using Twitter again, this time properly…hopefully! http://twitter.com/jmz360
