oo thanks.
Posted by detour1999 | Filed under OO, nerdly, programming, work
I’ve been thinking about object oriented development of late.
Ive been doing OO dev for about 8 years now… (C# for about 6 year, and VBA/VB6 for a couple before that, mostly windows apps.) I’m kinda ok at it.
Recently, i’ve been doing a lot more OO dev in other languages. (specifically js and php)
And it comes pretty easily…
…and I’ve been wondering why.
…
Also, it’s cold here in Chicago.and whenever it gets cold, I get sentimental and stuff…
…And i realized that I’ve been super lucky to have great co-workers to learn from.
so, that being said…
Jeff really realigned my thought process to an OO way of thought.
Mike and Rick help to make me passionate about doing OO as right as possible.
Brian got me thinking about OO on the web with a web appropriate language.
Harper gets me thinking about doing stuff outside of OO, and breaking my reliance on msft. (And gave me a shot at my new job @ skinnyCorp.)
Bryan refuses to ever take anything I say at face value, and forces me to really think about why we should do anything.

tomorrow is the end of my current tenure at this job.
i’ve been here for a long time (about 26.6% of my life right now…), so it’s kind of bittersweet.
good people will be missed.

summary of work.

Well, I quit my job that I’ve had for the past 7 1/2 years…
It’s a really odd sensation to not have the same thing to do everyday…
Friday is my last day.
Until then I am supposed to write some sort of ReadMe file for the internal site I’ve been working on.
I should rephrase that.
I am supposed to write a series of ReadMe files on the aspects of the internal site I’ve been working on that no one else seems to understand.
Which is to say, three files:
- CSS
- DOM Scripting
- AJAX
I’ve been somewhat nonplussed about the whole thing. Frankly, I’m of the opinion that if you don’t know the basics of CSS, you shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near the back side of a website. Similarly, if you don’t know anything about the DOM, don’t go near DOM scripting. Especially not on a production site.
But, in the end, I want to leave here on good terms, so I’ve been working on the ReadMe files…
Here’s what I’ve garnered from writing the CSS one and the DOM scripting one. (more…)
