So it’s been a few weeks. Here’s an update.
- I had heart surgery. It went pretty well, overall. I spent less than a week in the hospital and in under a month I was teleworking. There was a scary moment while I was still in ICU, but it was a great learning experience. More on that in another post.
- I am in the process of updating the Web Architecture and Design course (BMIS310) for Liberty University. I am thinking of leaving out Java Servlets altogether, since the students have taken a Java course as a prerequisite. I am instead inclined to focus more on PHP, give the barest mention to Javascript, and pay a great deal of attention to both good architectural practices and emerging standards (HTML5, CSS3, etc.). If you have any thoughts I’d love to hear them.
- I am thinking of getting rid of this design and going with something a little more friendly. It’s not that I don’t like kicking out my code in plain text and looking at it later. It’s just that the big Initial Cap seems to be throwing things off a little.
That’s it for now. More to follow in the next couple of days.
