Welcome to CodeAngel

It's Here at last! CodeAngel.org is a project I have been working on, on and off, for almost a year! CodeAngel.org is my blog. The software behind this was written by me, and of course those who wrote the libraries behind it. The application base was written with the Zend Framework. I started writing this blog when Zend Framework was on 0.1.2 and at this time of writing is running on 0.8.0, I'll continue to update this blog based on Zend Framework perhaps perpetually.
The main reason I wrote my own blog software, instead of say use any of those 100s of other blog and content management software out there, is for two reasons. One reason is that I wanted a project to better understand MVC and how it applied to Web Development. The other reason why I reinvented the wheel, all the wheels out there didn't fit my car.
The main features I wanted for a cms/blog software is something aimed at developers, coders, nerds etc. First I wanted something that allowed for multiple or single page blog posts, allowing to write short little blurbs famous amongst blogs, or to pour on page after page in some sort of technical tutorial (I already have quite a few planned). Also I added on Text Highlighting, with Pear Text::Highlight:
{ package Animal; use Carp qw(croak); ##constructors sub named { ref(my $class = shift) and croak "class name needed"; my $name = shift; my $self = { 'Name' => $name, 'Color' -> $class->default_color }; bless $self, $class; } }
The best thing about Text_Highlight is that it is extensible. I have plans for adding on some modules to it so that it supports Bash, C#, and maybe VB.Net.
Next page I touch on the future plans CodeAngel
