It took only a few hours stretched over several days to figure out how to add a new feature to XenWord. It’s the fastest time for me. Usually hours stretch into days and weeks. This time I tripped over the answer fairly quickly.
I think it was the study time on MVCs and SOLID practices for PHP. Laracasts is a gold mine of information. I could spend hours more each night learning about PHP.
Anyway, I’m celebrating a success and eager to try something “crazy.”
I am chomping at the bit to try my hands at building a successful add-on for XenForo. There are some great ideas but too many are huge projects. I need to start with something small. My knowledge of Models, Views, and Controllers needs lots of help 🙂
Any thoughts? All of my ideas are way too huge and need to come after some smaller successes.
Oh – and I want to put the add-on up on Github so the code is open. It might speed up my learning. Think cool. Think needed. Think simple. Think small. 😉
