Back from the Dead

For a blogger, I've bit the dust in terms of frequent posts. However, I would rather post useful stuff once a month (or two) than post anything for the sake of posting.

Having said that, I know I haven't posted in a while. I've been occupied with two major projects.
  1. Nothin But .NET Bootcamp
  2. Whatisluxury.com
In October 2008, I was given the opportunity to go to J.P Boodhoo's Nothin But .NET bootcamp (http://www.jpboodhoo.com/training.oo). It was a truly humbling experience and gave me a chance to set some goals for myself, in terms of self improvement in the .NET field.

At the end of December 2008, I launched an online luxury magazine for the publishers of Beverly Hills Report called WhatIsLuxury? (http://www.whatisluxury.com).

It was a fun experience and in the coming weeks, I would like to share some of the tricks & techniques I've used to accomplish some challenges that their requirements presented, including:
  • AJAX-enabled story rotation on the home page
  • Full Page Ad rotation every X number of pages
  • AJAX-enabled thumbnail-based navigation
Thanks for reading and stay tuned!
