I decided to start the new year with a new project — this site. I’ve had the idea for quite some time now, but wasn’t sure if I would be able to dedicate the needed time for it before. I really enjoy my studies and I think writing about what I learn and figure out will be very beneficial for myself. I’m not quite sure yet which direction the content will go in, hopefully it will be a bit of a mix but with the same foundation, which is information system science, (web) design and development.

Right now I’m studying for my exams in the courses “Design of IT” and “Database Systems I”. Besides the studies I’ve also recently started working with jQuery, which I think will be a great tool once I wrap my head around the “new” possibilities when I’m designing new sites. It feels like I’m still kind of stuck in the old way and so far haven’t had many practical uses for jQuery on any of my sites, but I think that will change soon, and if it does I’ll write down what I’ve done. I’ve also just started to dig into really learning Adobe’s Illustrator, I’ve often overlooked Illustrator and used Photoshop or InDesign instead. Now I’ve started to see the major benefits and will try to bring out my creative side again which has been a bit inactive lately.
