Code

I've worked primarily on web applications over the last 12-13 years. I've ended up focused quite a bit more on front end work in recent years, but I do enjoy writing server code. I enjoy solving problems, ideally with an elegant software solution.

Awhile back I did a side project to learn a bit of Dart by writing a simple clone of a popular ship battle game... BOATFIGHT. It's playable but could use some more work. It would be fun to build a GUI someday, but let's be real. It'll probably never go beyond being a command line application.

I freshened up and rewrote a lot of project I started a few years ago called minidom. It's a very small library for easily creating DOM elements and adding them to a page.

I've done a few smaller projects to learn some Ruby. It's a pleasant language to write in (that's intentional, of course). I started with a brute force Sudoku solver: Rudoku. I also tried setting up a local network server in Ruby using the OMDB API so I can quickly look up a movie's actors/director/Rotten Tomatoes score, etc on a single page.
