As I develop this web site, I am being painfully reminded of how much work goes into a web site! And how much more difficult it is to learn new things at 45 than it was at 25. It seems like there is an ocean of new tools out there that all need to be configured and connected together. But I must learn them, if I want to keep up with the industry.
For the curious, I am using Apache httpd, Tomcat, and Java/Spring. And Bootstrap, and jQuery. That’s six things right there! And I have barely scratched the surface. None of these things are new to me, but it’s been a few years since I’ve used some of them and they are constantly changing.
Also, my brain hurts from blog spam comments, which are numerous.
