Having started working at my Uni, I’m starting to work on projects related to the university. As a smaller research and learning exercise I built an SSO plugin to integrate with the university SSO system, something I actually started last week but couldn’t test because I didn’t have the appropriate access. In testing today I managed to get it to work and authenticate me appropriately with only a slight change to the original code.

Another fun task is learning how Moodle works. At the moment I’m trying to get my head around how to get the context of a course. I haven’t spent much time looking and all I’ve done is look at the context table and the get_context_instance functions or similar. It will be good to spend some time looking at something not Joomla! and getting some new ideas.
