The Dev Pages

A knowledge base for simple (and beyond) web applications development

Update: After a temporary retirement (April 2009-August 2009) to study for and take the LSAT, I’m back developing.

You are on the development blog of Nate Williams. This blog serves as a knowledge base for my current experience in developing web applications, which consists primarily of developing in coldfusion/php (now some ruby) and flex with some javascript. Web development also involves the use of a little bit of everything. I’m also trying to maintain my skills with java, sql, etc., and continue to learn ruby on rails. Of course the theory, design patterns, as well as OO concepts that came along with my learning C++ and java in school are all things I try and keep up on.

I am a recent graduate of Brigham Young University with a degree in information systems. I’m an ISys graduate who actually enjoys developing and I most prefer web applications development. Right now my title is ’software engineer’, but really I avoided being an engineer by switching from Electrical engineering to information systems in college. Regrettably my academic laziness wasn’t overcome until the end of my sophomore year, but at least ‘engineer’ is now part of my job title. My experience is somewhat limited, but I am learning a ton. You don’t really need that much experience when you’re a genius like I am. Yeah, right.

Hopefully there will be at least a thing or two in here someone else can find useful. Use the categories in the sidebar to view my limited stash of knowledge. Since my audience is primarily myself, I tend to throw stuff up fast, hence the enormous amounts of typos and bad page organization. Here’s a list of it all – what I got so far.
