I'm a freelance developer/designer, expert in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP. I do custom Wordpress and Joomla templates quickly and efficiently, AJAX front-ends and PHP/MySQL back-end applications, big and small (see Stuff I've Worked On for examples). I know about microformats, Schema.org, HTML5, jQuery, and lots of other cool stuff, and know how to employ these technologies to achieve business results.

Joomla! Release Strategy

Starting with version 1.6, Joomla changed it's release strategy to something similar to Firefox's (see here for a critical review of Mozilla's strategy), with a rapid release schedule that quickly drops support for older versions. There's a pretty good review of what is known of Joomla's strategy here.

Version 1.6 was a huge change from 1.5. When I started migrating this site to 1.6 I decided the quickest route was to just start over rather than trying to migrate at all (a decision which explains why much of this site appears unfinished — it IS unfinished!). Most plugins have not been revised to work in version 1.6 even though we are on 1.7 already, a situation that really reduces the usefulness of the application.
