Coding in 2007
I had a lot of ambition in 2007 to start coding things again, but as with every year, most of my thoughts came and went. I have learned enough Python to be dangerous, at least, and I’m still pretty OK with Perl, although I barely use it anymore. I’m still messing with a bit of PHP as well since I deal with it at work, but I’ve been thinking a lot about rewriting some of our internal webapps using Django. Problem is that it needs to be maintainable by others in my department, but I’m thinking if I code them right it shouldn’t be too horrible.
As far as personal projects go, there’s not really a whole lot I’ve found to code up. I’ve thought of a couple of things, but never really got into them. I should, though, so I can sharpen my skills. I’ll be working on the work projects at home mostly, but I want to have something I can do for myself, or if nothing else, something else to help out on. Hopefully in 2008 I’ll be a bit more inclined to write more code.
