As of 2010, I have started the development of the Extract CMS. The Extract CMS will be a content management system which provides editing to established and newly developed websites. This CMS will include features such as News Publishing, Event Planning, Account Management, Photo Gallery, Personal Reminders, etc… Incorporating new development languages such as jQuery, and development techniques, the Extract CMS will be very easy to use. The system will be modular, so new integration of plugins or features will be easily accessible.

This project is in the early design phases. More information will be provided as progress continues.

In the mean time, I have setup this website/blog based on WordPress to allow for a way to view recent and upcoming / past projects I have completed. Under the portfolio page you are able to view such projects (not all have been added) in which have already launched to the public.

I will try and keep consistent updates to my portfolio along with the blog portion of this website. If you would like to contact me, you can use the contact form on the “Contact Me” page of the website.

—————–

jQuery is a JavaScript library that stands out among its competitors because it is faster, focuses on writing less code, and is very extensible. In this talk, I will explore jQuery and how to use it. I will start off talking about the basics of using jQuery. Then, I will talk about building plugins. Finally, time permitting, I will take apart some plugins and talk about how they work, and I will show the nitty gritty details of the library.

Speaker: Dmitri Gaskin
