It’s out. I decided I’m happy enough with the current codebase to put a final release of Organize Series 2.0 out. Thanks to all the people who gave feedback on the Organize Series 2.0 Beta forums:
With their help I was able to address some things I might have missed. As it is, there is still the possibility that I may miss some bugs so if you come across any please post here.
With the release of Organize Series 2.0 I’ve decided to stop supporting all earlier versions (I just don’t have the time). I’ve completely rewritten the Organize Series Page and have also started a Organize Series Usage Tips series.
Oh, one more thing…OrgSeries 2.0 is all spiffed and ready for WordPress 2.5 too 
Happy Easter!

UPDATE: Organize Series 2.0 Final has been released. You can get it here.
Finally, I’ve reached the point where I can release a beta version of the Organize Series 2.0! It’s been a long time in the making and I’m glad to finally have reached this stage. UnfoldingNeurons.com is now running on WordPress 2.3.3 and I’ve installed OrgSeries and all seems well.
I’m still going through the code and cleaning it up, adding internal documentation, and structuring the files so it’s a bit more intuitive. I also want to get OrgSeries 2.0 ready for WordPress 2.5 before I do a final release. However, since I know so many people have been patiently waiting for me to get this version out the door I decided to release the Beta for those brave souls who want to give it a go. REMEMBER though, that this is a BETA release and I take no responsibility for any problems you may have with it. I’m hoping that releasing this BETA will also lead to some great feedback from users, helping me to improve it in time for the big release.

I just thought I’d write a little update about some of the things I’m working on for the next version of my Organize Series WordPress Plugin. As I’ve noted in my earlier post, the existing version of Organize Series will not work with WordPress 2.3 because of the way I had written the plugin to integrate with the category system of WordPress. The good thing is that if you upgrade your blog to WordPress 2.3 you can deactivate Organize Series and your existing series structure will stay intact because it’s based on WordPress categories. This means you can still blog using the series structure you’ve been accustomed to with one caveat of course - the “organize” part of Organize Series won’t be available…yet. The bad news is that although I am wanting to get Organize Series upgraded as soon as possible (because I use it myself and want the spiffyness of WordPress 2.3!) I am not able to work on the plugin full-time so - it will still be a while yet before the update is done.

Just a heads up folks that the upcoming new version of WordPress will break my Organize Series Plugin. I just read a great article about the new Taxonomy Schema changes that will be introduced with the new version of WordPress and unfortunately due to the way I designed the plugin, Organize Series won’t work with 2.3. This isn’t a knock against 2.3 though because I like the direction they are going with the taxonomy structure in the database.
Unfortunately it means a pretty significant rewrite of my plugin in order to work right with 2.3 On the plus-side - in the course of the rewrite I will probably try to introduce some of the features I’ve had on my ticket list for a while. Also, because I use my plugin pretty throughly myself I’ll probably start working on it sooner rather than later.
However, I can’t make any promises regarding time frame for a new version release as this is something I do as a hobby. I just wanted to announce this now though so that people using my plugin will know not to upgrade right away when WordPress 2.3 comes out (unless you don’t mind not using the plugin for a while ).

In my pursuit to become more literate in the web-development world I recently made a few purchases of technology books that I hope will accelerate my understanding of things like Ajax, DOM, Json, JavaScript, Java…etc. I know that there is a wealth of material available for free on the internets but there’s just something about a good book that makes learning so much easier. Key word there is good!
A good book I’ve just finished reading (and written a review on) is “Head Rush Ajax“by Brett McLaughlin. Thanks to the freaky layout and writing style (it’s definitely not your typical technical resource!) this was a book that I quickly worked through and at least now I have a firmer grasp of concepts that were just acquaintances before.
For instance, I now know:
- AJAX - isn’t a new language. It is simply a “method” of coding (using existing languages - JavaScript primarily) to enable visitors of a web-page interact with a page without having to reload it. Of course, I already knew of AJAXian goodness from using all the various web-apps that apply it - but it’s neat to know that it’s really not that hard to work with - it certainly isn’t as intimidating as I thought it would be.
