Welcome

Build a personal site in the class archive describing you and your final project.
Plan and sketch a potential final project.

This is the first iteration of my site. A prototype that answers the requirements. I'm hand crafting HTML5 using an editor called CoffeeCup. It's a nice compromise between a wysiwyg web designer, which would teach me nothing, and using a text editor and an HTML5 manual. It understands HTML, CSS, and javascript - and a whole load of other languages more suited to server side. I've done a lot of serverside web development in my past so forcing my self work on the user side is conformably uncomfortable.

I use WordPress a lot and have also looked at using it for FabAcademy. Its basically a content management system for building websites so it's really good for just getting the content in with out worrying about the format. Great for blogging, but not compatible with the FabAcademy archive. Finding a way to export into from WordPress to the archive may be a future iteration. In the mean time I am also looking at Fab Academy Template by Massimo Menichinelli. Based on Twitter Bootstrap + JQuery + google-code-prettify + GitHub theme for google-code-prettify + JSC3D + jquery.ganttView.

That will probably be my next stop.

I've worked on change management, in change management and under change management and so know that change management can save your life. By that I mean it can save your projects life and your job. So I recognize all most of those tools in the version control section. The new kid on the block is Git. I guess I'm going to have learn that one now.

If your reading this then you'll know I got the first bit right, eventually. Encryption Keys where always going to be a pain.
