Learning page

I kept updating my blog with a list of things I’d like to learn or improve upon, and it seemed redundant to continually copy/paste the information to a new post, just to update it. I would however like to keep the list online, so I’ve moved it to this single location.

ASP.NET, nUnit, VB.NET

As the title implies, I’m doing some brushing up on some technologies in the Microsoft stack. I’m going to keep my bases covered in all areas.
In brushing up on my ASP.NET, I’m reminded of a co-worker who once suggested using Smarty with PHP, for separation of presentation and logic. This feels a lot like Smarty. [...]

I’m Alive

It’s been a fair amount of time since I last posted warning of the dry spell in my blogging, but I think things have stabilized to a point where I can offer some words.
Of course, the primary reason for my busyness as of late is the 4 classes I’m taking this quarter, CSCD350 Software Engineering, [...]

Pause

There is likely going to be a several month pause in my blog postings, because I’m caught in a tidal wave of work + 4 class projects (2 of which I have to manage).
See you in March.

Visual Code

This is one of the cooler things I’ve seen.

I’ve made huge strides with PHCL, but haven’t had much time to post or commit anything recently. More soon.

PHCL alpha

In constructing various web applications, there is typically a common set of functionality needed by all of them, and I thought it might be nice to develop my own library with this purpose in mind. As it stands, this project is MASSIVELY incomplete, needing lots of work before it can be considered respectable. This is [...]

Windows Server, SQL Server, PHP, and Passion

For this upcoming quarter our instructor has slated a colleague and I to develop a web application in PHP using a MSSQL database, seperate from the standard student projects. In preparation for this, I decided to set up a development box so we could get started early. It was completely unnecessary for us to get [...]

Development Environment

I’ve spent the past couple days working towards getting a common development environment set up, so that I don’t have to use different IDE’s and tools. I’m trying to get everything situated, since Winter quarter is likely to be one of the most programming intensive quarters that I’ve had. I want to be prepared, so [...]

Internship, ASP.NET, Visual Studio, C++

It’s kind of a shotgun approach to a title, but the title fits the blog post content well.
Today I received confirmation that I’ll be doing an internship for a local Spokane company. As an part-time intern, I will be learning ASP.NET, which is really nice. ASP.NET will round out start some of my Microsoft programming [...]

Mac OS X – Clear DNS cache

If you’re someone who frequently deals with DNS changes, and have a client machine with OS X leopard, I have a solution that may save you some grief, but I’m not really sure why it was a problem, or why my action solved it.
Anyway, I found myself wanting to stick an icepick in my eye [...]
