Professional Freelance Web Developer
CodeIgniter Activist, Caffeine Junkie
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!
For a few years now, I’ve had CodeIgniter Screencasts on my site. This page, along with the Code page of my site have been the most popular pages by far.
Thousands of people download my screencasts every month, and despite some major problems with audio quality, resolution, and audio/video sync, they remain extremely popular.
For this reason, I’ve decided that it’s time to build a passive income stream into my freelancing career, and produce some very high quality CodeIgniter Screencasts along with reference materials, and release them for a small fee ($5 or less).
After asking for your opinions on which library I should release, there was a clear trend towards oAuth integration in the current ‘Twitter CodeIgniter Library‘
So, here it is, a new version of the CodeIgniter Twitter API Library complete with oAuth!
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!
I love giving away code, writing articles, being a part of the developer community.
If any of my content has really helped you and you'd like to say thanks, then you can email me, tweet me, or buy me something from my wish list. I'd really appreciate it.
Hi! Glad you dropped by.
I'm a 23 year old freelance web developer currently living in Aberdeen whilst studying BSc Computing Science.
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 freelacer.
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.
