I'm still amped from BubbleConf last Friday in Tuschinksy, Amsterdam... I've heard the illustrious Mike Lee speak (like a demigod) and chatted (2 or 3 sentences) with the notorious Zed A. Shaw (served a talk like a heavyweight boxer) after which I've googled these giants like crazy the last few days.
After a refreshing weekend rehashing some knowledge from that dusty chest I'm back on my coding grind. Yup this weekend I've read Learn Python the Hard Way (Zed A. Shaw), done all the exercises and started delving into the web2py documentation. I already knew Python which is the reason why I was able to work through this book in 2 days, but you'd be amazed at how much things you kinda forget after long periods of coding in other languages. In retrospect it's probably a good practice to flip through some programming guides/books now and then to (re)discover some hidden gems (as long as you try ideas right away... practice, practice, practice).
Currently I'm totally in love with web2py. It is probably one of the most coder-friendly full stack frameworks I've bumped my head against and it's written in one of the most elegant languages ever.
IMHO... no facts... just opinions. Just needed to get that out.
I'm also making considerable progress on a couple of Android apps (prototypes) I'm coding, and I've had my first encounters with Objective C.
But that would explain why I'm amped. I'm learning a lot, discovering great tools, bumping into legends and looking forward to a adventurous future. Also have a couple of themesongs from my Spotify playlist banging on my eardrums. I'm feeling like the protagonist from a film... my own movie :D -- I'm kinda nuts... soo nuts, but who gives a hoot.
