As promised in one of my previous posts, I am sharing the background about how the documentation pages were created on the new SpecFlow website. The story starts in 2000 (quite some time ago, bah…) when someone called me (did I have a cellphone already? I don’t remember…) and asked me to fly to Stockholm on the following day to fix a website for a TV show that was about to start in two weeks. In PHP. I was in the 2nd semester of my MSc and did a lot of perl coding. In fact I programmed everything in perl that time… so was quite hooked on it. I had never done anything in PHP until that time, but saw that it was pretty similar to perl, so I printed the PHP documentation and sat on the plane. We fixed (better to say built up from nothing) the website, so the show could start, but I have never done a PHP job anymore. Was enough. 13 years later, I somehow felt a kind of nostalgia (one of the most dangerous feelings one can have), when we picked WordPress as the CMS for the Spec* toolset. And I felt that I have to do some code into it…
