Third in the lists series.

Here are the tech things I’m looking forward to in 2009 (most related to Web development):

• Watching Merb and Rails merge
• Adoption of Python 3, even though Python still irks me
• DataMapper 1.0
• A Web framework that’s more of a library, less of a harness to plug things into†
• Hearing more from Arc

Second in what’s now a series of “list” posts. First here.

Standard assumptions in the Rails community:

• Working in a small start-up consultancy
• Mac laptop for development
• TextMate for editing
• git for version control
• MySQL for database backend

First in what’s now a series of “list” posts. Next here.

• Gradients
• Georgia for headings
• Large-surface-area navigation tabs
• Design on a grid
• Rich but totally random stock photos
