Radoslav Popov

I am a 22-year-old software / web developer, currently living in Sofia. I used to do a lot of PHP / JavaScript / CSS related work in the past and to advocate web-standards coding, but since I realized that cannot motivate me any longer, which happened in the early 2008, I've decided to move to the Object Oriented Programming and Java. Relational databases and ORM are also fields I'm interested in. On this page you can find some of my projects I am proud of which I've created mainly due to my University courses or simply to advance in a certain technology.

Custom MVC
MVC Blog

It's a custom made PHP Model-View-Controller architecture. The project represents a blog, but the idea behind the source code is, by using the well-established conventions of the MVC pattern, to be easily modifiable, easy to understand in a long term and to become the skeleton to every PHP project I make in the future. It's far from the best frameworks, but I'm going to close the gap some day.
