Well it’s been a few months since I’ve posted anything at all on this blog. I’ve been extremely busy with work in the last few months and have been doing some work on my own. As of 3 months ago I’ve never developed anything with Java before. After doing a project at work that required me to use Java I’ve actually gained some experience with it and am beginning to enjoy working with it.
My plan for the blog is going to change over the next little while. I have been doing very little PHP work lately and am embarking on a new path with Java so I’m going to be focusing on Java for a while. So stay tuned, in the next few days I’m going to discuss an application I’ve wanted to write for the last few years and have never gotten around to. This is going to be a fairly large and complex project that is going to require quite some time to accomplish as I seem to never have enough spare time.
The application is going to be designed with a modular architecture and I plan on releasing the core as open source and then extensions will be commercial if I ever get it that far.
In the next few posts I’ll post some information on my experiences with Java and the Eclipse IDE. I’m also going to go into the design of my application a bit.

Since I haven’t posted anything in like two months it’s about time I post something. I’ve been extremely busy as of late and haven’t had time for much of anything. So my blog as usual is the first thing that suffers. I’ve decided to put the Zend Framework Tutorial on hold for a bit as currently I’m working on a couple of projects that are not using PHP and I’m trying to reacquaint myself with an old language I haven’t used in years and learning a new one.

Once again there has been a complete lack of updates for another week. I’m not having any luck rendering screencasts to the proper codec in Linux. On top of that I’ve had enough of Ubuntu and am searching for a new distribution to use.

There has been no updates on this blog for about a week now. We should be back with regular updates this weekend. I’ve got a few webcasts planned but was having some difficulty recording and encoding the webcasts on Linux. Apparently there is no easy way to do this. Nonetheless, I think I’ve got it figured out and should have at least two up this weekend.
