Back to basics

December 30, 2008 by wroolie 1 Comment

I spent a few hours this morning converting my Overpass site from .net to php. A few years ago, I converted of the opposite way–leaving php for c#.

The truth is that I wanted to play with the Aptana IDE and see how php has evolved since I left it a few years ago. I also want to work with jquery a bit.

There is something very relaxing working closer to the HTML in the way that php and classic asp forced you to. No skin files, datagrids, or sitemaps. I’m always suspicious of the new technologies which hide underlying technologies. The big browsers still just read HTML,Css, and javascript out of the box.

I really like working with aptana. I think it is as good as vs2008 (but for php). I may upload the php site in the next week or so.

    Hi Eric!
    Found your blog by searching for (what else) a Nike+ API. 🙂 It looks like we have a lot in common..Nike+ using novice running software developers. Keep up the great work and I’ll be sure to stop by again.
