Hi Everyone, First of all I need to thank Evan for getting CB off the ground, and Dmitry for getting me started on this project.
My main goals for the next few months are getting the features that are already in CB rock solid. That means that I am going to be adding tests with eunit, Common Test and QuickCheck. It already passes dialyzer. I am also going to be working on the docs. If anyone wants to talk to me please IM me via skype or google chat. I am also sometimes on IRC. look for "ZachInIsrael". --Zach On Thu, Dec 19, 2013 at 7:33 AM, Jose Luis Gordo Romero <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks Evan and good luck with your projects, I learned a lot with your code > and your "ways" to solve complex problems! > > Thanks Dmitry & Zach, this year has been busy with non-cb-related projects > but I expect be back to help soon. > > > -- > Jose Luis Gordo Romero > @jgordor - http://www.freemindsystems.com > > > 2013/12/19 chan sisowath <[email protected]> >> >> Thanks Evan for that awesome web framework, >> i started to watch this little web framework a couple year ago when i >> planned to move to erlang technology, just read and erlang book was not >> enough, by digging into your "crazy ideas" was a great exercise, i m still >> learning by the way. >> everywhere i work i try to evangelize about Erlang and ChicagoBoss, my >> previous employer in shanghai use CB for their web now, >> http://www.yunio.com, i was dedicated for the backend storage but at least i >> had time to work a bit on CB version of the front-end before i quit them for >> new adventure, in my new job i push erlang & ChicagoBoss as the main >> technology, i should work on it.
