Everything’s kicking off at the moment in my little world of web development. The new all singing, all dancing PilatesPlus web site is nearly ready to launch. I spent six hours yesterday designing the registration form. It’s working though, and does some fun stuff with Twitter too.

Two new clients are in the offing, which I promise I’ll write about once the deals have been sealed. Work at Quantel is going well too – only one last section of the latest version of some of their Python based software left to debug! I’ve learnt a lot from working in Python recently, and it’s definitely increased by ability to code in general – knowing functions in different languages helps when finding solutions to tricky problems.

Finally, the future looks exciting with a recent tweet from @wossy. Since the last book club meet a mobile version of the site has been launched for iPhone and BlackBerry, some of the site’s been made easier to use with the addition of some AJAX code, the interface has been redesigned to make it cleaner and simpler, the site got a new domain and  it now works better with Twitter. Plus @sardo02 and I have been working on an API to power an Android application for the site.

I hope that everyone had a great Christmas, and are looking forward to the New Year. Bring on 2010!
