Today has been intense. Well, in fact these have been two intense weekends of programming, ending today with code release.
The problem is, after all this work, I wrote a very long post in Spanish, and now I’m too tired to make the same here. So I’ll be lean and mean.
After some years playing with web platform at work, I realize that I’ve never developed a web for fun besides my old and venerable blog (made in PHP in 2003, that’s ages ago).
I don’t want to talk about the idea I’d like to implement, because I know myself and maybe this will end in nothing, but the first step in my plan was to find the right tool. I don’t know yet if it’s the right tool, but I’ve found Mojolicious quite interesting so far.
Anyway, I’ve published a new URL shortening service (a simple project to start playing with a framework), and I’ve released the source code as free software.
It has all the must have in this kind of services, and it allowed me to try Mojolicious and Class::DBI (my first try ever with an ORM!).
