It has been a long time since my last update. I've been busy with other personal projects that keep me from maintain the blog. Now I have more time, but it's still difficult to write good postings.
The main reason for start the blog a year ago was to document all my development facts and progress. For that purpose, the most easy way was to start a blog, because it was a known platform for me. But, after a few months after I started to use it, I found it very limited as a development resource.
Previously to the blog, Codepixel author, Xabier Loureiro, suggested that I should start a personal wiki, which is more suited for continuous maintenance. I started to migrate "Fallen Apples" most useful content to a new Google Site (kind of Google wiki) and, at the moment, I agree with him. While you can achieve a similar functionality with a blog using static pages, I found more comfortable to do it on a platform like Google Sites.
Now, I will use http://sites.google.com/site/manelvf/ to store, classify and upgrade my personal notes, as I was doing before at this blog.

I use Google Wave or Google Docs for that.
ReplyDeleteUsually when I taking random notes about something I'm learning (for example, now I'm learning Ruby and Rails) I write these down on a Google Doc (used Google Wave for a time, but it is just too slow until they fix it). Once I've a good understanding, I reorganize my notes and *sometimes* I write a post on my site (juanjoalvarez.net) so it can be useful to other people too.
Didn't knew that you could add a wiki to Google Sites. I did once a Google site to demonstrate it would democratize web creation:

You CAN use Google Sites as a Wiki but it's NOT a real wiki. It's a simple way to maintain the information updated.
ReplyDeleteI use Wave and Docs for documents, too, but an old style website/wiki is more handy for regular updates and data organization.
