Website Redesign

I have decided that it is time to revamp troygullage.com. I plan on ditching WordPress for 2 main reasons. First reason being I am not really the blogging type. As you can see from the activity on this blog I don’t post very often. Second, I want troygullage.com to be a site that I developed from the ground up. I gave WordPress a shot and it’s not for me. Stay tuned, within a few months this site will be totally redesigned and redeveloped.

  • Facebook Application Development

    Ok. So i know i said my next post would be an update to the previous post regarding creating my own JavaScript library, but just like the environment I work in things change quickly. I have to put the “Creating a JavaScript library” project on hold to focus on Facebook Application development.

    Why? Well the most important reason is that we need to create a Facebook Application for a client at work and I have to do it. This project is going to involve a lot of research and because of that I won’t have anytime to work on side projects.

    I’ll try to post on things to consider when developing a Facebook Application and the process if I get time.

    The Experiment, creating a JavaScript library

    Continuously trying to find ways to expand my JavaScript knowledge, practices and techniques I decided that I am going to write my own JavaScript library.

    Ok. Before you start asking, What? Why? etc. let me explain. I have no intention on creating a library that will be superior to Prototype, jQuery, YUI, etc. My only intention is to find a useful way to practice and perfect my Object Oriented JavaScript programming practices. I figure that creating my own JavaScript library from scratch will provide the perfect environment for developing highly efficient JavaScript code in an Object Oriented fashion.

    This project, “The Experiment”, is just starting and will take months to complete. I will post regularly about the progress and problems I encounter along the way. Posts will also be created detailing tips, tricks and strategies for creating large scale Object Oriented JavaScript code.
