New Experiment – The Daily Coder

I’ve been trying to get my coding blog going bit by bit but I’ve struggled with it a bit – www.forgottencoder.com – perhaps it’s due to to not enough focus, perhaps it’s due to not having enough time, whatever the case, I’m starting a new project with this blog at it’s core. For the month of June, I will be committing to doing an hour of code a day and blogging about it. The rules are; One hour of day of code per day. Cannot be part of a professional project – must be my own project. Learning doesn’t count, i.e.,

It’s a little Rough around the Edges

Good. That means there is still work to do and you’re still plowing through to make it happen. That means that despite your setbacks, whether they are internally driven or externally received, you are not stopping.

The approach, skill, patience and integrity in that one interaction taught me what no book ever could hope to achieve and what I endeavour to do with others.

What Power do you have?

All of it. You can change your job, change your career, change your vocation, apply for a new designation, go back to school, learn online, learn in a classroom, learn at home or on the way to work. You can download podcasts that make your drive to work that much more interesting, attend meetups with people you have never met and sign-up for programs you know nothing of except that you all can sign-up individually. You can tie up your laces, go for a walk, a bike ride, a run, play tennis and wonder why you didn’t do this sooner.

Inconsistent User Design

Over the past week, I’ve had two experiences with applications implemented across a variety of platforms with completely different User Experiences – I can hold one up against the other and see the difference. Different features, different access points, etc, etc. Even worse, I can look at these experiences across a variety of devices and platforms and see how they are completely different in their implementation as well. If you are building a solution across a variety of platforms and devices always remember; Consistency is key – don’t limit the user to their device/platform of choice, enable it. Feature parity is
