Databases and EOE

It's been a while since I worked on the new version of EOE. Interviews and school sort of took over my time. Now going back to it and looking at the code I realize how oriented around databases it is.

I don't know when it happened, but apparently I'm a database developer now. The majority of my interviews were for jobs that primarily involved database work. Whether it was ADO.NET or PHP with MySQL, I got interviews for it. I suppose I shouldn't be that surprised, I've been working with databases for years, it's just odd how I sort of fell into it without realizing.

On a side note, after this Wednesday I should have time to work on EOE and get back into the OO code. Right now I got to build another class for listings and my mind just doesn't want to wrap around it because of my assignments that are due.

Once I get the listing class done and implement the listings the rest of the site should finish quickly. I wanted to get the listing class done before I finish with profile deletion because I want to run a check to see if that profile has listings. That way I can run through various tests without issue.

I sort of can't wait for the completion of the site. It's going to be the most user-oriented site I've coded, and I plan for it to only be the beginning. I want to create sites that can handle a lot of user generated content, it's sort of one of my main goals to do for 2010.

And I'm hoping once I switch to wordpress I can start writing more formal posts, perhaps have a separate section of like articles or deep thoughts/opinions. That way the site has a lot more reading appeal then me just talking about various TV shows and vague descriptions about my websites. Haha.
