I’m about to reach another milestone in my current work. A beta release will be out in a not so far future, after months & months of iteration. It won’t be a big deal for most people, but for me, it has been a journey & experience to whip out something from scratch. Well, almost… Hehe.
I’ve always been a Drupal developer since Drupal 4, but having been working on so many different PHP development frameworks over the years, I’ve learned that Drupal has always been the most suitable partner for me in web development. WordPress is cool, but not for many things. CakePHP is delicious, but it’s going to take awhile for me to properly digest the M-V-C. And Textpattern is simply beautiful.
I’ve always been the procedural type of developer (think C++), but hey, learning ain’t easy but it’s always fun!
As a self taught web artist & developer, I’ve (maybe, maybe not) mastered the true arts of CSS ever since the first time I’ve glished (is there such a word?) my eyes on the meyerweb in 2001 & succumbed into the power of Zeld. One thing weird though, lately I’ve been guiding my coworkers on the force and I never thought that what I’ve learned while skipping classes & hanging out at the computer lab in college would be useful & actually teaching it to other people.
In fact, the job I have right now was totally based on skill, because if I compare myself with my colleagues, I’m a lot less academically than they are. And honestly, they are great & good people and has been & will always be a pleasure working with them, although I’m the oldest (in age) in the development team. Plus, I’ve been having working on weird & unbelieveable jobs after I graduated high school, and this has been the best for me, so far.
Right now, I’m on my way to (hopefully) absorb & understand the awesomeness of Drupal, telling myself to make the best out of what I have & hoping to share with the world with what I’ve learned.
I’m also about to tread on another path: agriculture. Going to grow me some vegetables & fruits!
Aizat & the FOSS.my dudes has infected me with the “awesomeness” bug. Spray spray! New buzzword please! Haha!
Lady luck, don’t leave me yet :)
