Website finally online
posted Jan 24th 2007, 14:34
It took a bit more time than expected but here it is. It might look a bit empty now but a lot more content will be added very soon.
The website in itself is a work in progress. After testing different ready-made web packages (like Wordpress and Drupal) and being not so happy about them, I decided to build my own custom site with CakePHP, a php framework that was released earlier in 2006. All this means that I have a bit more learning and initial coding to do in order to have basic functionnalities (add, delete, edit content) online. It represents more hours of web development, but it gives me a good excuse to refine my php skills and explore new topics (version control, MVC, etc).
So please bear with me for the first weeks or so, everything won't be perfect from the beginning. My next major challenge is coming up with a decent timeline or calendar module. I tried the route of integrating Google Calendar API's in the framework but without success so far. I'll see what I can do...
