			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So I went a little crazy in early January and setup blogs for pretty everything I&#8217;m interested in.</p>
<p>So beyond http://www.chuckfletcher.com which I&#8217;ll use as a catch all, I decided to organize my projects and learning efforts into distinct blogs:</p>
<p><strong>Rails Like Frameworks</strong><br />
I love rails. I&#8217;ve done some significant work with it over the last few years and learned alot. AJAX, test/behavior driven development, and just better coding. More recently the rest of the development world has caught on to many of the Rails conventions and released frameworks for other languages. I often have to deliver solutions for my company&#8217;s clients in different languages (besides rails) and usually end up outsourcing it.</p>
<p>Learning some of these other languages wasn&#8217;t really interesting to me, until these new Rails Like platforms came out. I&#8217;m now in the process of applying my Rails knowledge to .NET MVC (C#), Grails (Java) and CakePHP (PHP). I think the convergence and competition between these frameworks will be an interesting area for a long time to come. To follow my learning and experimentation watch the blog below.<br />

<p><strong>Iphone Development</strong><br />
The Iphone is such a sexy platform. Gorgeous hardware, slick software and a this amazing distribution network: the app store on Itunes. The Iphone platform is not easy to develop for, but the effort is totally worth it. I&#8217;ve been working on creating an iphone client for http://www.mologogo.com which I built several years ago in rails. I&#8217;ve got some stuff working and am constantly trying to figure out the next pieces to keep if moving forward. As I go I&#8217;ve been bookmarking lots of resources and figuring out some things I couldn&#8217;t find via searches..<a href="http://www.iphone-sdk-development-resources.com"><br />

<p><strong>Android Development</strong><br />
While working on the Iphone development stuff I found myself also interested in developing for Android as well. More from the perspective of creating front-ends for rails apps than a Mologogo client (Which my partner Jason could build in about 3 hours with his eyes closed). But again I create a place to manage what I pick up along the way. One note about Android development, the fact that they added a $3 chip gives it an ability to trample the Iphone in one area - Augmented Reality - see below&#8230;<br />

<p><strong>Emerging Marketing Technologies</strong><br />
My professional career is that of a Director of Technology for Digital Agencies. I&#8217;ve been doing this for a long time at this point, but to keep it interesting I&#8217;m always watching emerging technologies. I usually do regular talks at the agencies I&#8217;ve worked at and figured I&#8217;d create a place to collect and organize my ideas for the whole internet vs, just my current agency (Euro RSCG). My current hot-tech-du-jour is Augmented Reality, which is so cool and so ripe for someone to make a big splash with it in the US.  Check out what this company Metaio just did for Lego&#8230; Also stay tuned for a write up of my meeting with Metaio last week&#8230;<br />
