Presentation

Hi, I'm David Blanchard, mainly PHP web developer. I maintain this site to renew old projects and open them to the world in case someone would be interested ! :)

Web Development

The projects are composed of an MVC Framework called Phink, an administration interface called LAdmin and a startup media application called SoL using both former projects

Logo Design

One of my hobbies is to design vector graphics using Inkscape and Graphic. I finish the pictures with Gimp for a better rendering and portability. The logo of the site is one my productions.

Open Source

I'm really grateful to the great contributors of the Open Source initiative who made free softwre possible like Richard Stallman, Linus Torvalds, Larry Wall, Ramus Lerdorf and many others. Their open works represent the biggest amount of knowlegde we can expect for decades. So, in thanks, I decided to follow the Open Source principles and share my works. However, some are still in a early stage and thus kept "secret". :)

Story

The tortuous path.

  • 2001

    The Beginnings

    The first approach to PHP after a try with Perl and ASP 3. With the idea of reusing the same functions in several projects, a little framework was born. JavaScript was in the box too.

  • 2004

    Lost in the Microsoft Jungle

    Job opportunities lead to work with Microsoft technologies, especially C#, ASP.Net and SQL Server. PHP was left aside and the projects slept in the oblivion.

  • 2010

    PHP mon amour

    In favor of a new job where Open Source was the main element in the choice of tools, I came back to PHP. Remembering the old projects and benefiting ASP.Net/C# knowledge, I began to rewrite the framework to give it ASP.Net aspects. Later, MVC archecture completed the set of new features.

    Old projects rebirth

    Now the framework has been rewritten again and cleared from its gas factory skeleton. New projects can be added first for testing purpose, then for the real world.

Me

I'm currently the only person working on all parts of the projects but feel free to join the adventure. Creating, coding, designing are enthousiastic time killers.

PHP Web Developer

I've been working as developer since 1999, first on Windows platform with Visual Basic and Delphi. I began web development in PHP by the year 2001 and started to code the embryo of a framework and a portal at a time when they were few on the market. Then following the growth of C# I turned to it from 2004 to 2009 for different job opportunities. Since 2010 I'm back to my first love and tend to strenghten my knowledge by adapting the old project to the lastest web technologies.
