ABOUT THIS BLOG (AND IT’S AUTHOR)

I (Eric Adams) began From the Code Mill to serve as a resource for learning all things related to web design, particularly having to do with PHP.  This includes tutorials, useful scripts, product highlights, third-party libraries….really just the things I enjoy about what I do, and want to share!

I have worked as a Web Developer for just under 5 years now.  I began my work in PHP with data mining applications for insurance.  This evolved into Customer Relationship Management applications.  I now work for a publishing company, focusing on Content Management Systems.

I believe in creating applications that are lightweight, and have a focused purpose.  I have always focused on databases and object-relational mapping layers, but have increased interests in other areas, including:

  1. Web Services (specifically in enhancing a CMS back end)
  2. PHP-GTK 2
  3. Writing an uber-lightweight MVC layer to use on future projects

I hope you enjoy my blog, and I can help others as so many have already helped me.
