Thoughts in the Wilderness

I purchased the perfectAPI.com domain earlier in the week. You should see this blog already there at blog.perfectAPI.com. (For now, the blog is still hosted at blogspot, but the rest of the site is hosted by go-daddy).

My idea for perfectAPI.com is to concentrate on small, specialized functionality, and present it in a way that is, for want of a better word, “perfect”.

Of course, “perfect” does not exist, but my API design skills (and rigorous testing) will make it so far beyond what people expect, that it may as well be.

The site itself is using Drupal for now. I also took a look at WordPress and Joomla. Both were very, very good, but I was swayed by Drupal’s clean-looking default theme and easy-to-setup friendly urls. I may change my mind later, but I’ll stick with it for now.

I am still figuring out where I will focus my energy first. I’m not going to be writing the “heavy” pieces myself. To that end, I’ve been looking at various open-source components on CodePlex and SourceForge…
