iPod Touch App Derailed

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010

Just making a quick post here to say that I’m stuck in a little holding pattern with iOS development. Apparently, I needed to have my OSX updated to 10.6 in order to install the iPhone SDK with XCode. Whoops! So, I ordered the upgrade since it wasn’t too much, and it should arrive sometime this week, I hope.

In the meantime, I’ll be working on client projects. We’re doing some cool stuff with a point of sale system, and then integrating a load cell with a code project. I’ll try to share what I learn here, if of course it won’t give away too many secrets!

I also have plans to make a little rock-paper-scissors game using HTML5 and JavaScript, so that way I’ll be able to say I’ve actually used HTML5, and it will be fun to develop. More coming soon!

The Purpose of this Blog

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

This is just an introductory post for anyone who has stumbled upon this blog before I have written anything in it. I design and develop websites for a living, having gone to school for it at Purdue University. As such I plan to dedicate this blog to things I’m doing or things I want to do with code and maybe sometimes with design. I’m sure the purpose of it will evolve over time, but the posts on this blog will be more of a technical nature than a personal one. I have another blog dedicated to “personal” things for interested readers. I imagine the content will range from little tips with HTML and CSS to full-on tutorials in Object-Oriented ActionScript and PHP. Many of the things I’ve done are things I’ve learned from other blogs on the internet, but I find that one of the ways to help me really learn something is to take it and explain it to someone else in my own terms. While a lot of it will be for my own reinforcement, I hope that anyone who reads this will have something to take away as well. Please feel free to comment or contact me, especially if I’m wrong about something!
