Envisioning future forms
Here we go again. Advanced websites need advanced forms.
I mean… let’s talk about digital products in the Web 2.0 era. You want to be successful on a crowded market, so you need to stand up with a winning product. You decide to pay a digital products design firm that, if good enough, will come to you with a rocking design.

While everybody still whines about Jobs’ passing, I would like to remember one of the man that really started this all.
Goodbye Mr. Ritchie. Rest in Peace.

Against HMVC
Meh, wrong title but after weeks without ranting I wanted to boost this up a bit. :) Well, I had the occasion to talk with a colleague of mine about taming a CI application that was heading straight to chaos, reorganizing folder structures and such. Omissis suggested me to drop some HMVC in and I felt the usual shiver up my spine.
Something scares the crap out of me when it comes to rely on HMVC...
