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 development, particularly having to do with PHP and JavaScript.  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 7+ years.  I began my work in PHP with data mining applications for insurance.  This evolved into Customer Relationship Management applications.  I also worked for 2 years in commercial content management applications for a publishing company in Philadelphia. I now work for Synacor, Inc. creating web portals.

I believe in creating applications that are lightweight, and have a focused purpose.  My interests include:

  1. PHP Code Quality tools (PHPUnit, PHPMD, etc.)
  2. HTML5 and Progressive Enhancements
  3. Clean and simple UI creation
  4. Writing an uber-lightweight MVC layer to use on future projects
  5. Web Services (specifically in enhancing a CMS back end)
  6. PHP-GTK 2

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