Wenever there's new content, I'll let you know in a fun and entertaining manner :) My mom's on this list, so trust me, I won't be spammy.
It’s been a few days since I posted, and the reason is because I’ve been holed up in my workshop making toys. By workshop I mean my computer and by toys I mean websites. Just like Geppetto in Pinocchio, I thoroughly enjoy the websites that I made (however imperfect) and I hope that one day they become real.
The toys are as follows:
A buggy Bitly-like url shortener called Bitly Redux
A simple blog that I built from scratch, with the ability to add and filter by tags.
Next, my team built a jeopardy flash-card app that has over 60,000 questions in the database and can track your stats. It’s lenient on the answers (if you type in 50% of the characters right, it’ll be right). There’s also an answer that always works if you’re stuck on a question :) We also say “What is” on your behalf.
And lastly, today my pair and I built a game that tries to mimic the Hare and Tortoise story. Try it out with someone else on the same computer (or just play yourself…). I hope it will be as frustrating for you as it was for us when figuring out the AJAX.
When I’m as old as Gippetto, I hope I still find as much joy building and playing with toys as I do today.
