Almost three years after the launch of DCP Version 8, DCP 9 has officially launched! I started the process in November, 2007 and have been working on and off since then to create something that I am proud of.

The new version has been built from the ground up using Code Igniter which is a lightweight, open-source PHP framework (MCV). I had been wanting to learn CI for a long time and building this site has converted me to a true Code Igniter fanboy.

I have also created some cool new features for this version including a live RSS feed from my Last FM account which updates what I am currently listening in iTunes and on my iPod in realtime. I have also created a feed from a Yahoo! Pipe that I created featuring randomly selected top rated stories from popular blogs and social news sites which you can see, along with my Last FM feed in the footer of the site. The portfolio has also been completely overhauled (and will probably be tweaked frequently) and is now much more robust and easy to use than previous versions.

I plan to update the blog frequently with tutorials, stories etc.. so check back often.

I hope you enjoy the new site!
