Coding Frenzy!

I don’t know what happen, but when I arrived home from work few days ago, I had a strong urge to rewrite a project that I’ve been doing at the office, to make it simpler and more accessible to everyone. Minimalistic approach that provides a specific service instead of generalizing, will always makes it way to the heart of the more simpler folks, in this case, the majority. Tadalist is one of those. And delicious. And some other service out there.

I started a project which I call Masjid & Surau, a place where users can submit information about Masjid or Surau which they know. Including the area near it, and instructions on how to get there. These are the simpler goals. The bigger goals will be providing a GIS information on how to get there.

I started out simple, coding a few CRUDs, here and there. Minimal javascript here and there to hide and show some stuffs. Making sure all stuff works first. The amount of code I wrote in the last few hours of the 5-6 hour long marathon was scary. Everything just comes together in a queue fashion. One after the other. No time to pause, no time watch the news, no time to play CoH! *gasp*. After what I thought was important to give a general idea of what’s it going to be.

The next day, I messaged a few friends over on Yahoo! and asked their opinion. Most of them gives nice feedbacks, some was just a pain in the ass ("Oh, I have to really look into this to give any feedback", What la. Give your first impression lah). After that I post it on ITTutor, to get opinions on it.

1. Read your post in ITTutor, didnt reply tho. I think it a wonderful idea, and pretty amazing too since you came out with a running app in such a short time.

   Really gave a nice impression on how fast coding on CodeIgniter can be.
