My Home Page

I've tied my Tic Tac Toe, Carnival Cruise, and Troop #29 pages together and made myself a personal home page. Nothing extravagant here but kind of cool to have a web presence nonetheless.
As you might have guessed by now it can be found at www.jdsv650.somee.com .

Carnival Cruise (And of course an attempt at a web page)

It looks like I'll be heading to Texas a bit on the early side. I've booked my first ever cruise on Carnival's /in/famous Triumph. My original intent was to use this as an opportunity to kick back and do a good bit of studying to prepare for <CoderCamps />. Since the original booking, my 12 year old and ex- father in law have decided to join me and make it an all out vacation. Check out our itinerary here http://www.jdsv650.somee.com/Cruise/cruise.html I'm counting down the days until I'm in Galveston (and of course Pearland).

My Tic Tac Toe Native Mobile App - Web App

I managed to upload a simple Tic Tac Toe game to the three main app stores a few months back (or maybe I should say two main app stores plus Windows Phone Store) . Here is a look at the download results to date (7/13/13).

App Store (iOS)

Windows Phone Store

Google Play Store

As you can see the results range from 2 downloads on Android (one of them being me :0) to thousands of downloads on the App store. While admittedly not the greatest game/app ever, it is still exciting to see that many people use an app that you have created!!! Search for "James Donner" or "TicXOToe" on any of these stores and check it out if you are so inclined.

In keeping with the Tic Toe Toe tradition, I've now ported the game to JavaScript and found a free web hosting site http://www.jdsv650.somee.com/ticxotoe.html called Somee. The source code can be found on my GitHub @ https://github.com/jdsv650.

< CoderCamps />

I'm applying to < CoderCamps /> and if I'm accepted I'll be spending 9 weeks in Pearland, Texas (south of Houston).

Which also means I'll be living and breathing ASP.NET MVC along with a slew of other related technical jargon. It all starts with Microsoft's free Visual Studio Express 2012 for Web. I'm keeping my fingers crossed this could be some serious fun!
