Second Thoughts
Since my post The best of both world a few things happened.
First, time went by… A lot of it.
Also, I read 2.5 books on Ruby and Rails.
But then I stopped.
The fact is, I can’t practice enough.
Web development is still a “hobby+” and I can only devote so much time to it. But further than that, every ongoing project I work on is in PHP, and every future project require skills I haven’t developed yet in Ruby (but I have in PHP).
So I figured: Ruby already taught me a lot, regarding a certain way of coding/thinking, and OOP (I’m a much more efficient coder in PHP now I read about Ruby).
But it doesn’t really bring me a whole new skill/knowledge: from a user point of view, a page developed in Ruby and one developed in PHP look very much the same.
So I wondered what programming language would bring me that…
…hmmmmm I wonder…
The answer was obvious (even though not really a language) : Flash.
ActionScript is share the same bases as JavaScript, I can start small, with element embedded in classic HTML, and it really brings a whole new world to my reach.
Next to it is Flex, and next AIR (was Apollo).
And so I began. I have the books (yes, I like to learn in books…), started 2 of them, and practice (not enough though).
So see you soon, with my first realizations…
