I’m working my way through these pearls of wisdom, which I found randomly on delicious. I’m also listening intently to the stack overflow podcast – Joel and Jeff are really entertaining, and its a good way to hear what really great programmers are thinking about.
I am still working on my briscola implementation in wcf/rest, and I’ve made some great strides, but I’ve still yet to get to a final version that I would be confident publishing. I’m anxious to blog about some of the things I’ve learned, especially how I got the membership provider to work with wcf security model – its something that I found no complete example of online. I’m even more anxious to get the SOA done so I can implement and iPhone app finally.
I also seriously need to find time to hack away at the todo list for this site, including getting the backend converted to SQL from XML.
All the time needed for the above has now officially been reduced as I’ve accepted enrollment in the Graduate Certificate program in Geographic Information Systems at the University of Texas at Dallas. I’m carrying two courses this fall, one is a required introductory course to GIS, and one elective which I chose to be Geo-spatial Data Analysis. There was much debate about this whole going back to school thing, with time and money being the main factors. What exactly will completing this get me? Personal fulfillment? More money (probably not)? Opening of doors (hopefully)?
