Code for the Holidays!

In technology, you can never write too little code. It’s good to try new things and/or keep old skills sharp. So, as we enter another holiday season, I present to you my gift of code to the world!

Here’s a rough outline of what I’d like to accomplish by the end of this year:

1. The To Do List – A simple application that will demonstrate best practices in a variety of activities…
   • The Slim Framework
   • RESTful API
   • RDBMS
   • PHPDoc
   • Testing with PHPUnit
   • Automated Builds with Phing
   • Continuous Deployment / Continuous Integration
   • Docker
2. LittleGood.org (plus #TYKS)
   • A great excuse for me to put a little good in the world
   • Drupal
3. A Yelp like application built with the MEAN stack
   • MongoDB
   • Express
   • AngularJS
   • Node
4. Workout Tracker – The project I have been dying to get off the ground so I can use it at the gym! More robust than the To Do List.
   • Laravel
   • NoSQL
   • Droid
   • OO design patterns
   • Possibly iOS
5. Quirkle – An online version of the addictive board game. Also, an excuse to flex my front-end skills.
   • Javascript framework TBD
   • Backend technologies TBD
   • OO design patterns
6. Droid or iOS versions of each project
7. Contribute to an open source project like The Slim Framework, joind.in, or phergie.

Can’t wait to get started!
