Doodling evolved

The few people that follow me on Twitter have probably seen me tweet about an upcoming site called ‘Draw A Doodle’. I could try to explain everything about what I’m planning to do, but why bother if I could just save you 8 minutes and just show you what I want to really to create?

One of my latest school assignment was to create a site where users can create news-content. (Me being way too excited to have actually paid attention, I read users should be able to create new content… Turns out my lecturers really wanted NEWS content… ) In this assignment, I saw the perfect opportunity to create the basics of the Draw A Doodle project.

If you’d die now, this is what people should remember you for...

Well… At least expectations weren’t high, right? :)

A year ago I built the first edition of this website, which was pretty basic. Back then I used ColdFusion to build the administration panel. This time I built it using PHP.
I have to say that this project clearly improved my PHP skills. While I was building the backend, I was focusing on modular development, so I could reuse a lot of the written code. A lot of people suggested using the ZendFramework but since I’ve been looking into this a few times without making any progress, I just skipped that chapter (after all: we’re all bound by deadlines ;) ) and went on developing my own framework (‘framework’ might be slightly exaggerating though).
