Professional Freelance Web Developer
CodeIgniter Activist, Caffeine Junkie
With the sun shining and my vegetables really starting to shoot up, I can tell summer is now in full swing. There’s been some things on my mind that I though I’d share with you about where I’m looking to go, moving forward.
Firstly, my code. Since I first started releasing CodeIgniter Libraries they’ve been widely used and loved. But, there’s a problem. I’ve not had the time to support them or update them. The solution to this, I believe, is to start again, with updated, clean code…
I asked all of my followers on twitter what they would like released this weekend, and the result was clear: Facebook Connect.
I’ve been playing around with Facebook Connect for quite some time, and naturally, decided to use CodeIgniter to do so. And since this is me, I figured that most people in the UK are fed up of MP’s taking so much from them this week, so here’s me ‘giving’ you something back!
Only yesterday I was releasing the CodeIgniter Twitter API Library, and now I’ve got another hot release for you all!
Vimeo is a fantastic video service with good quality flash encoding and a great free account. And now, it’s possible to use this service within your CodeIgniter applications.
Twitter is quickly becoming one of the fastest communication networks around. So why should we leave our beautiful CodeIgniter Applications out of such a great think?
Well, now we don’t have to! Here it is, a new, shiny version of the Twitter CodeIgniter Library.
Previously, the library was only able to parse someone’s Tweets via RSS. However! Fear not! For I have built a full-blown Twitter API solution for you!
Hi! Glad you dropped by.
I'm a 23 year old freelance web developer currently living on beautiful Walney Island, Barrow-in-Furness.
The web is certainly my passion. I care about building and maintaining really good applications that actually mean something. Freelancing isn't just my profession, it's a way of life for me, and I love to write and talk about freelance, the rewards and horrors.
I mainly write about web development.
It's great to receive feedback and opinion, so please feel free to comment and join the discussion.
I use 'FreeAgent' to track-time, create invoices, view reports, and calculate my tax. It's the perfect tool for a freelancer.
If you're a UK based freelancer, give it a go. It really does free up more time to actually work rather than messing around with admin tasks.
