When you read code from open source projects you often find easter eggs. WordPress is very famous for that and I have personaly found many during my exploration of the source code. It is always refreshing and funny when you are stuck on something to find a little joke.

I like easter eggs but I have never done any myself. Maybe if I was doing more open source projects I would but for now I do not. The funniest I always remenber is from the Thematic framework and the function get_cats_meow. Hilarious isn’t it?

I’ll see what else I can digg out later. (more…)

While I do think the best way to learn is on the web at the moment, I do think it is important to diversify and get different sources for the same subject. Book are a great way to learn stuff. They are usually written in a better way than most blogs and carry accurate imformation.

Plus it takes you out of your screen a bit which is always good. Borden your horizons why different readings and learn from different sources so you can get better.

I’ll try to give some good book to read about code later on.

Coldfusion is lame. There, I’ve said it and I am not taking it back. I don’t like coldfusion. It is an inefficient language that is not good for anything.

I had to update an old app coded in coldfusion today and spent the worst hours of my life trying to figure out what the hell the script was doing. Seriously if I don’t get, who could?

I am not saying I am the best coder on earth but I am pretty good at what I do and that, I don’t get. Even the help in coldfusion is rubbish. Stay away from it that’s my advice.

Believe it or not but all languages used nowadays for anything are all derived of the same way of thinking and coding. Fair enough you have languages faster than others, or object oriented as they say, but at the end of the day they all originate from the same source.

The day when we see a really new and revolutionary language is not for the next few years if you listen to me, and even it will probably be derived from something that existed before.

I am gonna try to do my own I think, I might be luckier than other people and do something really different…or not.

That’s what you read at the bottom of WordPress.org. Code is poetry is something that’s so true I can’t stop thinking about it. When you write code there are tons of diferent way of doing it. But like write by hand, there are ways better than others.

The poetry comes when you realise there is a really good way to code something and that by doing it you learn more about code. So when you write an app or a website think about it. Don’t just through code like that on the page but try to do it in the best way possible.
