Projects and progress
I started a new job recently and the transition from role to role hasn't been too bad so far. Since things have been a little easy going due to my new employer wanting to "let me down easy" of the sheer scale of my new role I have had a little time to look at a few things. Many of you that know me have been asking about the progress of the XNA project and if i'm totally honest it hasn't really moved at all. I have however had some interesting feedback from the contractor I am taking over from in my new role about approaching Meta data and ways to handle it. At the moment I cache meta data for every page so that generating page menus and things is made efficient bu the data is stored as a tree that represents the actual structure of ccoder.co.uk. I think that in reflection it is probably wiser to save the meta data as a flat list that can be pulled by a "key" (the page id). The code change is minimal and I feel worth it in the long run so i plan to roll it out as part of the next release of ccoder. I just wish my javascript skills were a little stronger now as the editor functionality is proving to be somewhat complicated. Good job I enjoy a challenge I suppose.
