Greetings!

Man has the time passed rather quickly or am I just crazy? Things have been so busy, crazy and overwhelming, it seems that I have made little progress with my projects.

So… I have been working with Smarty on my phpZIPdir project as mentioned in my prior post Beginning Development with Smarty. I must say that I really do love that template engine! I have rewritten my code on The Gutter Directory, truthfully I only have about 80% of the code fixed/completed, but by following the “Why Use Smarty” page I am quite sure that I have removed all application logic from the templates which will ultimately make phpZIPdir a fully functional, turn-key application.

I still have a lot more work to do to get phpZIPdir into a release state, but I have read the Smarty Documentation about 2 times through, so I am beginning to really grasp everything that happens behind the scenes, which helps me understand the line between Designers and Coders.

I hope to have some time to code within the next couple of weeks to get phpZIPdir into a release state so strenuous public testing can occur. I will update again when I have made such progress.
