Welcome
Welcome to philwade.org - my name is phil and I work as a web developer. This site is meant to be a promotional vehicle for me as well as a place for me to play with/practice my development skills. I work primarily with PHP and the Symfony Framework at work, but its long been my desire to learn python (and more). Everybody knows the best way to learn something is to just haul off and build something using it, so this blog is in the process of being built using Django. I'm going to try and spend my free time improving and expanding the code, as well as trying to brain dump into the blog fairly often.

So far, I'm enjoying coding in Django... I've only been professionally developing for about 2 years, and I'd like to think that I've picked up a few good habits in that time, as well as learning why some of my old habits were bad ideas^tm. Working with python (as opposed to PHP) really seems to reinforce the lessons that I've learned.

Ok, that's it for now... more to come hopefully.
