David Heinemeier Hansson (also known as DHH) is one of my favorite programmers. I like how blunt he is about programming as a whole, his ideas on entrepreneurship and how he has other activities he likes outside of programming (like racing).
I knew it has brewing for a while, but I never thought it would actually come. This whole time I thought I would be able to make an escape from it before it happened, but boy was I wrong and completely blindsided.
Object-oriented programming (OOP) is talked about so much in the software development space. It's a tried-and-true method of creating applications, and many developers swear by it. But what is OOP?
Record Rack is the first "big" project I've ever worked on. It would be the first application tailored towards solving actual (paying) customer needs. Before then, I just coded for a hobby and to solve my own problems. The Record Rack project would change all of that.
In my last post, I spoke about how web content is made with HTML and how to write your first lines of HTML code. I also mentioned that HTML is modeled after real-life documents.
HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is to the world wide web as English is to Americans; it is not only the language with which we communicate, but also a very part of the culture. Mozilla defines HTML as the most basic building block of the web. All user-facing content in the world wide web is written in HTML, from games to web applications to videoconferencing.
A couple weeks ago, I started a brand new web project I call Record Rack. It's an inventory application that I'm working on with an old college mate specifically targeted for the African market. Maybe, I'll talk more about the story of Record Rack in a later post.
