A cunning plan for a new website.

Sunday, 10th December 2017

It's the build up to Christmas, hooray!! A special season when I get to stay up late and learn some new tech, sometime in between the pint of sherry kicking in and the kids waking up.

I love restarting my website from scratch (again). A blank canvas. A chance to do it right this time. I won't. A chance to over-engineer the hell out of a simple website in order to practice all the new things I want to learn.

A thirst for sherry knowledge

A few things I want to explore in more depth:

• Vue.js
• Progressive Web Apps
• Continuous Delivery/Deployment
• Accessibility
• Security
• Visual code familiarity
• Adobe After Effect - keeping my career options open :-)

Courses I’m hoping to take:

• Wes Bos ES6 for Everyone
• Modern DevTools
• Vue school The Vue.js Master Class

I’ve sketched out a road-map of how I see this website progressing:

• 0.0.0 Brutally simple website design
• 0.1.0 Set up a local Static Site Generator
• 0.2.0 Firebase hosting
• 0.3.0 Firebase deploy via Travis
• 0.4.0 Add search posts function
• 0.5.0 Testing with Puppeteer
• 0.6.0 Add offline capabilities
