Special Notices - Exciting New Web 2.0 Gallery Feature

admin — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 21:37:36 +0100

Dearest users of Speed Coin Gallery website, it brings me the most joyous of happy happy pleasures to announce the new implementation of a fully Web 2.0 compatible Gallery Section. After months of planning in conjunction with the former (now disgraced) web developer, Kostantin Ilyin, Speed Coin finally launches it's first Artist Gallery: Carl Morris'.

Due to many problems in Mr. Ilyin's code (which as I have previously stated is web 1.47 at best and certainly not 2.0 or even 1.7 as he has tried to convince me of in private email correspondence) the entire process has taken considerably longer than we had hoped since it proved necessary to rework both the abstract base class foundations along with CRUD scaffolds and the relational database schema. On tying these revisions in with a properly planned inheritance hierarchy, there is now a robust framework upon which we can build in future months to add many more Web 2.0 features.

Please be advised to see in a short time frame:
