New project and new direction
I work full-time now, and haven’t felt the need to update my portfolio regularly. That doesn’t mean I’ve forgotten it’s here – I do keep the hosting and domain registration fees paid. I just haven’t had a specific use for this blog for some time now.
However, that’s changed now. I’m very pleased to announce that I have a contract to create a series of advanced PHP video tutorials, and have been given a sufficiently flexible timeline that it shouldn’t interfere with my regular job.
Because of the NDA I signed, I can’t actually reveal what company I’m working with, but once the tutorial is finished and available for purchase, I will be promoting it here.
Now as far as the tie-in with the blog, I’ve decided that I’m going to share my research for each video by creating corresponding blog entries. The blog posts won’t include the videos themselves, but they will form the basis of the scripts I’ll use when I create them.
In time, there should be a lot of useful information on a variety of topics. Hopefully my visitors will find some of the articles useful, and may even be able to correct me if I make an error now and then.
It’s been a long time since I’ve had to research and write anything on that kind of schedule, and that’s in addition to my responsibilities at work and to my family. But I think I can handle it, because becoming a published author has been a dream of mine for a long time now, and nothing is so easy as doing work you love. Wish me luck!
