Happy New Year!

First off, happy new year to everyone! I’m hoping that 2010 is better than 2009 for everybody.

2009 was a rough year for me personally and professionally. However, it ended on a high note with a new job and new challenges.

In the waining days of 2009, I began my first iPhone application. I’m still very new to Cocoa and Objective-C but I’m enjoying the parts of the language and framework I’ve come across. I’m getting readjusted to the manually memory management. I’ve been spoiled by dynamic languages and automatic garbage collection.

I really want to expand the languages I work with his year. Mind you, I’m definitely staying in the Rails ecosystem, it’s a fantastic framework. However there are some technologies on my radar that I want/will need to work with.
