A Django Detour

The last couple of months I've been working on a new website using Django. I'm back to working with Drupal, and that was always my intention. This was my first Django project and I have to say I really enjoyed developing on the platform which, for this particular project, I feel was a great fit. Python, the language on which Django is built, is a beautiful programming language.

The Drupal Experiment - Part 2

Drupal is a very powerful platform for developing dynamic websites. A lot can be done with it and so it can be a bit overwhelming to see all that's possible before having a set plan of what one actually wants and needs. That said, the first thing for me to do in redeveloping the Pickett Hill Guide Service website is to determine exactly what it is the site needs to deliver. Knowing that, going forward, I can then look into which modules I should use.

Steep Rock Arts - Updated

I've just updated the site steeprockarts.org. Several enhancements and improvements were made, including moving the site into the Zend Framework. Future updates to the site should now be much, much easier. Part of the site (the application) had already been using Zend, but I decided it would be best if the entire site was powered by it. A little bit of extra effort now to save time later.

So, all you aspiring artists out there. Check out steeprockarts.org!

Till next time.

The Drupal Experiment - Part 1

It has been said that the best way to really learn something is to try and share your knowledge with others. To that vain, I will be documenting my experience with developing a website using Drupal: the issues I run into, my approach and reasoning behind development decisions, etc. The ultimate goal is going to be to create a website at a relatively rapid pace. There are certain ideas I have in terms of what the site will eventually become and it's my aim to prove to myself that Drupal will be the right tool for the job.
