FOWA & BarCamp Miami

Future of Web Apps (FOWA) Miami & BarCamp Miami are quickly approaching. I’m really looking forward to picking up tips on building better web apps, and meeting some smart people. I’m planning on giving a presentation at Barcamp, but I haven’t decided on what to talk about. I’m considering either “An Intro to Comet” or “Improving User Experience With JS Form Validation”, and I’m leaning more towards the former. Any suggestions?

I still have a lot to get done before the month’s end, including: launching the new and improved Statiksoft website, designing and printing affordable business cards, and, of course, writing my presentation. Add those things to the laundry list of other projects I’m trying to work on and it’s gonna be a busy month.

Also, BarCamp Orlando is slotted for early April, with two focused days! Kevin and I are gonna give a killer presentation on ExpressionEngine on the developer day. Be there.

The New SPEEDtv.com

February 6th has come, and it has gone. After much toil and many, many long days, the largest development project MindComet has ever undertaken launched on time. That statement alone is worth celebrating.

Whether the project ends up being a glorious success to the end users or not, as a developer I can make it something to be proud of in the lessons I take away from it. For example, here’s one thing I discovered about myself: I like BIG. I like the challenge…the complexity…the impact. Big forces you to approach problems in a different, often better, way. Big challenges your development processes and methodologies when you may otherwise be content. Big requires skills, tools, and architectures you don’t normally get to use with small. Big magnifies your weaknesses, and exposes your flaws–refining those who learn from it. And in the end, if you can make it to the finish; if you can reach your goal–you’re a cut above the rest. Here’s to big. Here’s to the SPEEDtv development team.

Site Moved

You probably saw this coming when I talked about purchasing IamSeanMurphy.com a few weeks ago (okay, maybe it was longer). I moved my site from CoreQuantum.com to IamSeanMurphy.com. Update your links ladies and gentlemen!
