As it’s customary for new Alagad bloggers to first post an introduction before diving into weightier topics, here goes:
My name is Ezra Parker, and I’ve been working with Alagad for almost three months now, initially as a contractor, and since the beginning of March, as a full-time team member. Although I’ve been developing in ColdFusion for over 10 years now, I don’t have any formal training in CS or CIS.
I began my career in web development by learning on the job while working for a company that was in the process of undergoing a transition from a pre-press service bureau into a full-fledged web development shop. I spent a number of years working there as the lead developer and technical director, and for the last year I worked as an independent contractor, eventually finding a contract with Alagad, which then resulted in my joining the team.
I’m absolutely thrilled to be working with the stellar group that Doug has assembled — it’s already been a hugely rewarding experience to collaborate with developers of this caliber, and to have the opportunity to work on challenging projects that encourage me to expand my skills and experience. I have a particular interest in all things related to the Model-Glue MVC framework, and in developing rich internet applications constructed with the jQuery and jQuery UI JavaScript libraries — expect to see a number of posts from me on both these subjects.
Greetings and Salutations
