Scoilnet part 2
Thanks to all the nice comments I received on Scoilnet .
To look backward my experience on this project has been so interesting.
Indeed, I used 100% of .Net in Scoilnet (and 20000 liters of sweat ;-)). For me it was also a way to be familiar with .Net.
I like the idea to write some snippets on some obscure programming stuff, like reflection or other not so funny things.
But I am a real person living in a real world.
And there bringing everything I knew about coding and implementing this with .Net was really a tough challenge.
But I certainly have no regrets at all, because it's so cool to see things making sense when they are linking together.
On the coding, I also have to thanks .Net for the huge amount of Javascript headache it removed from my brain.
It was like a constant painkiller, everything working so smoothly.
Well almost, because now I enter in the grey zone of testing the site, and it's a little bit like the twilight zone.
I have to check for different browsers, different platforms, analyze the first stats to see what people are using, trace all errors, etc...
Well I say to myself, another challenge, and surely not the last one.
I am also working now on a parallel project for kids about science in schools. It's quite exciting, because it will involve a lot of dynamic rendering, inclusion of videos and bright colors ! Yes I like bright colors ;-)
To come back to Scoilnet, I have also the task now to do a stronger code, cleaning all the garbage I collected these past few weeks.
I think also about a data layer, but I am not sure about that, because I am stuck to MS Sql, and I don't think I will move soon to another database provider.
Another task to be implemented is an accessible version, and it's not really easy. I read a lot on the subject, but a lot of contradictions and misunderstanding surround the subject.
And finally I hope to have the site running full throttle around September.
Hey it's only in 3 months ;-)
