What are you working on? v6

Heh, you guys are such web people! I like 7 the best too but there's a good chance it'll be too purty.

Marketing guys love the first one the most for some reason but I'm not so sure about it.

Yeah I agree. The logos are not necessarily overdone, but maybe just a bit complex for certain situations. The best logos are iconic, simple, and memorable. (And I know saying that is in order of millions of times easier said than done :v:).

The logos CityChat logos are great - especially for the web - but they may be too complex for some situations outside of the web (ie: embroidery, single-colour, etc.). As much as I like #7, it probably can't scale that greatly, as it loses too much detail at small sizes.

[bbang]

I like logos that arent too big of a size and that is nice and simple :v:

[Weiss]

They probably like #1 because it shows two people. After all, cities can't talk, it's the people doing it!

WebMatrix is a free web development tool from Microsoft that includes everything you need for website development. Start from open source web applications, built-in web templates or just start writing code yourself. It’s all-inclusive, simple and best of all free. Developing websites has never been easier.[/quote]

After watching the overview video, I'm most impressed and amazed by the "Razor" code.
Esentially, instead of doing:

<? foreach($things as $thing){ ?>
<li><?=$thing;?>
<? } ?>

... you don't need to open and close the code tags ...

@foreach(var thing in things){
<li>@thing</li>
}

It's simple and enforces the idea behind the logo with effective visual aid.
Also, no one commented on my website. Perhaps a screenshot is more convenient, but it's pretty visually simple.

I recently started using that for all my web development over notepad++.

It's a really good program, and the built in IIS support saves having to load up apache / mysql or xampp everytime I do web development.

Looks really nice, but according to Adobe's Browserlab, IE9 goes a bit weird...

Just sent what is probably the longest email I've ever written in my life (1492 words :v:) to my client.
I've been writing a design document for a touristic website dedicated to Italy for a while now, and I've decided to do some things some people would call controversial, but I think they're the right choice.

I've decided to integrate a small-scale social network into the website, to make it easier for user to talk to each other, share experiences or talk to the actual people who offer services on the website. Users can have a friend list and can post reviews on the offers displayed on the site, and those will all be listed in their very own profile page.

This seems like a wise choice to me. It will allow communication between users, which is important in this field, and get them out of the small opaque box websites usually build around their users, not allowing to efficiently communicate between each other. This should also have important effects on the website's conversion rate and amount of returning visitors, which is always an important and good thing.

[editline]28th July 2011[/editline]

Also this website is a remake of this one, [url]http://www.pocketitaly.it/en/[/url] which is one of the most awful websites ever made (the company who made it claims to be professional, but just have a look at their website to change your own mind [url]http://www.mediaticamente.it/[/url] )

Initially, I was just asked to apply changes to the current website at my client's request, but it turned out to be incredibly difficult with the awful structure the site has, and I decided I would remake it instead. After some time trying to redesign the website and making it a bit more functional, but still keeping it following the original structure, the latter eventually caved on itself, and I decided that it's better to forget all about the old (shitty) website and start anew. I've been writing the design document for 2 days now, I've got 4.5 pages down (I'm slow as fuck), and I really hope the client will like it for what it is and not bash me for the forward-looking and possibly controversial ideas.

I'm also going to use a framework, probably CodeIgniter, to try keep the code tidier and not have to live through the same hell of working with that awful code again.

[theJohn]

If I would want to make an application like the one described below, do you think I would be better off with Sinatra or Rails as a moderately new guy to Ruby?

Basically, a tournament system. The captain of a team can sign up for the tournament. Once registered, the captain can log in and look at tournament brackets as well as submit matches and who won. That's pretty much it. The rest is just fancy crap.

Does Razor work for PHP too, or is that for ASP.NET?

They are currently getting ready for a new release. I wouldn't be surprised if they promote it as the IDE to use to make these new windows 8 HTML5 apps.

No, the second example is C#/Razor. I'm just wondering if WebMatrix compiles those C#/Razor views into PHP.

IE9 isn't that bad at all, and IE10 will probably be out by the time Windows 8 comes out.

apparently not

And it still doesn't seem to handle javascript as well as others.
(We had some problem with TinyMCE this week, and only IE didn't work.)
