Man...working on a bunch of things.
Following the instructions on PhoneGap, creating a PhoneGap app. It's sort of slow going, and I was held back by some problems with java and eclipse, but now it seems to work now...at least a bit. Let's see, to give it a run down, I went to build.phonegap.com and I forked a repo to the phonegap repo, and I took that out of the box app. I installed the Android SDK (Software Development Kit) onto my computer, and had to install a few of the packages necessary to Android virtual machines. I launched an machine, installed the apps on and voila! we have an app on Android. It's pretty cool. It's fun to see a phone emulating on your computer top. I of course don't have an Android, but now I'm tempted to get one to program for. Unfortunately though, the app's functionality wasn't really there... It consistently dies right after being opened, so there's definitely a problem.
At iQ, I'm trying to read through source code and read textbooks. Once again, I have to conceal a few things (and it's not like I know anything really...). What I can say is that we're developing a product with Domain Driven Design. What I can't say is what Domain Driven Design is...because I don't know what it is... I've been trying to read books and blogs on it, but it's all pretty cryptic. I feel like I'm missing something, but I also feel like I don't know where to find that missing something. I picked up the book "Domain Driven Design" today and when I tried to give it a read, I ended up passing out for a little bit...but I woke up soon after, and I gave it another shot. It's not the book that made me fall asleep, but just that I was getting confused. I'll give it a shot this weekend, and I think I can make some major headway into it. I'll also be forking into the work repos and reading code about some other software. I might take notes of some techniques or findings here on my blog, but I won't be discussing anything business related. What I do know is that this thing is huge and almost unnavigable. Thanks to Andy's help though this afternoon, I was able to get a bit of a bearing, and I hope to look a few of the projects this weekend.
