As an aspiring programmer/software developer/web developer I am trying to keep up with technology. While at work I program in PHP(sad I know) and for the longest time I have programmed in Ruby for fun.
I have decided that its not enough. Like the Pragmatic Programmer book recommends, It is time to learn a new language. Pragmatic Programmer recommends one new language a year, now it is like 3 for me this year. Ruby, PHP, and now...........
Python.
Yes, I am going to be giving Django spin. I have decided to prototype a simple cms/blog for my personal website in Django. If all goes well and I like how it turns out I will be deploying it on my VPS and then be getting rid of this blog.
Why Django over Rails? I am kinda bored today, and I know I can do it in rails, and I know that I want to learn something new. So Python and Django it is. Sadly enough the biggest obstacle to me liking Django is going to be the URL confs. I hate RegExp's. I guess this is a chance to learn.
Keep checking back as I will keep updating this blog with all of the new things I am learning.
God bless,
Craig

Whats up friends
Or maybe not friends. I really don't care. I wanted to introduce myself into the world of bloggerdom, and then you can decide if we are friends or not. So,
My name is Craig. I am a web developer by day, and a web developer by night. Not to mention a 24 addict. To give you some ideas about what you will be reading if continue to look at my blog...
You will learn about Ruby on Rails and Django. You will learn about deploying Ruby on Rrails.... that includes mongrels and nginx (kick apache out of our mind right now), and aobut deploying Django. You will hear my rants about microsoft and you will hear my praise of all things open source and mac related (have you seen the iPhone!!!!!!)
Anyhow, I pretty much got a blog so that I could keep better documentation of everything that I have learned, and hopefully help someone else out. By the way, my grammar and spelling is not great, I hope you do not mind.
I hope you find something that i write here to be of some sort of help. If not at least I helped myself.
God bless
Craig
