New Clay Controller

Published on June 1, 2010 By David Dyess II

I pushed Clay Framework to Github (http://github.com/clay/clay) almost 2 weeks ago. Well, I’ve been digging through the code a lot since then and came to a few conclusions. 1) I don’t really like some of my implementations. 2) I do love the basic ideas behind Clay in general. 3) I don’t really like some of [...]

Clay Framework on GitHub.com

Published on May 21, 2010 By David Dyess II

I’ve started pushing Clay to its GitHub repository: http://github.com/clay/clay There is still a lot of code I haven’t pushed, for varying reasons. I’ve been changing a few things around so I’m hoping I haven’t messed any paths up. Otherwise, Clay should be usable as it is currently in the repo. The Installer hasn’t been pushed [...]

Clay’s Progress

Published on February 21, 2010 By David Dyess II

Clay Framework had taken a back seat for a little over a month, but things were moving again this past week. Unfortunately, this next week is going to be a no-go for development. I hope to get back into it hard next weekend and try to get an alpha release out around the first half [...]

Clay Status Update

Published on December 16, 2009 By David Dyess II

I had hoped to have released a Clay alpha by now, but time seems to never be on my side. I, also,  keep finding better ways to do some of the, even simple, things that make Clay work. I have been slowly moving forward. I have the week of Christmas off from work so I [...]

Clay Brainstorming

Published on December 2, 2009 By David Dyess II

I’ve been trying to be a little more open with what I’m working on for Clay, hence the ‘Framework for the 10s’ series. So…here’s some brainstorming as a blog. I’ve been trying to figure out how to separate the use of APIs and applications as backend and frontend (with backend capabilities). I also want to [...]

A PHP Framework for the 10′s: An Introduction

Published on November 5, 2009 By David Dyess II

It’s strange to say 10′s, but we’re less than a couple of months away from those 10′s (2010′s). As my work and focuses on Clay have shifted from one thing to the other, I’ve wondered what I can build into it to make Clay the “next big thing. ” I still don’t know, to be [...]

Clay Development in October

Published on November 1, 2009 By David Dyess II

October was a fairly decent month for Clay development. It now has an almost complete alpha installer…  heh.  I call it an alpha installer because it is currently the only administrative GUI to Clay. The way Clay is wired makes it somewhat complex on the administrative side; it uses a fully configurable/strict approach. The installer [...]

ClayDB, Input Validation and Filtering

Published on May 14, 2009 By David Dyess II

I’ve been really busy with my career job lately, but I have managed to do a few things with Clay. ClayDB is coming along nicely; its intended to be used with PDO and currently supports the PDO_SQLite and PDO_MySQL extensions. ClayDB also has a wrapper class that allows you to use its simple query functions [...]

Random Thoughts for the Day

Published on April 30, 2009 By David Dyess II

Although I haven’t had a lot of computer time lately, I’ve really been enjoying the new Ubuntu. It seems to run better than the version I had to drop and I haven’t missed Windows at all this time. Wine is finally working for me this time around and I’m currently installing Eve Online. We’ll see [...]

Clay Status Update

Published on April 15, 2009 By David Dyess II

I’m still working on it I’ve cleaned out a lot of test code and transitioned entirely to ClayDB. Currently ClayDB only has an inteface for queries through the PDO_MySQL driver, but it should support SQLite soon as well. I decided to start out with PDO, instead of the native drivers, but I plan to eventually [...]
