A long awaited update written by: Lee Richmond posted on: 20 October 2009
Well I know I've been majorly neglecting my blogging duties recently, There are a few reasons for this, the main one being that about 3 months ago I started working as the junior developer for Leeds based digital agency called Coolpink.
I am proud to be part of the dev team here because it means I get re affiliate myself with PHP, in some respects it has meant going back to basics (I didn't realise just how long it had been since I last did anything in PHP) but I am also now learning PHP in the context of the MVC framework the guys here have built, which so far I have been impressed with. This does not mean I am leaving my Ruby on Rails work behind me, however it has had to take a bit of a back seat for a couple of months, and I am hoping that at some point in the future I will get to showcase the beauty of RoR development to the rest of the team and maybe even get the opportunity to use it on projects in the future.
This career move has also given me an opportunity to finally start using the jQuery JavaScript Library, this is something I had looked into several times in the past but never really had the chance. I have to say I am really impressed with the how clean the code is and how easy it is to implement in your website, I will be implementing jQuery on here just as soon as I get a spare moment, if you have not already checked it out I urge you to do so.
Anyway that is all for now, I do have some more blog posts planned for the coming weeks so keep checking back you never know I may post something of interest
