My interest in programming began in the early 90’s on an Amiga 500 doing AmigaBASIC. From there when I got my first real PC, I started getting into Delphi and then ventured into C++ by doing some Wrox Press tutorials, and went on to develop a MUD written in C with a couple of friends at school. Doing MUDs got me interested in Linux, which in turn got me onto creating websites, thus the self-teaching of HTML, then CGI (of which I have mostly forgotten), then PHP, which I have carried on learning and has been my forte since. I have also dabbled in C++ again since, and some ASP.NET, C# etc.

Skills (stuff I know lots about)

  • PHP 3/4/5
  • JavaScript (JSON, AJAX)
  • HTML/XHTML/XML
  • CSS
  • MySQL 4/5
  • Linux (several distro’s) and shell scripting

Other knowledge (stuff I have done but not very good at or have forgotten)

  • C#
  • ASP/ASP.NET
  • C/C++
  • CGI
  • Delphi
