History
I started to learn to program when I was at Secondary School,
I had a TI-82 Graphical Calculator which could be programmed to do some basic stuff
and was intrigued by what I could do with it. Around the same time I started to
learn BASIC but was increasingly frustrated by it as it didn't have the power to
do powerful programs. I did however like the fact it was very to understand the
program you had written. So I started to look for something more powerful.
Originally I was looking for C but I stumbled across Python on the internet
and found it was just what I was looking for; in that was powerful. There is
nothing really you can't do with it and it's friendly syntax. I learnt the
language very easily as the documentation included documentation was excellent
and used that. Later on I learned more languages. Today I know:
- Python - 8 years Personal experience
- Java - 4 years University experience
- C - 1 year University experience
- Perl - 1 year commercial experience
- HTML - 1 year commercial experience
- CSS - 1 year commercial experience
- MySQL - 1 year commercial experience
- PHP - 6 months personal experience
- Javascript - 1 years personal experience
This site is itself written using a combination of PHP, CSS, Javascript including jQuery and HTML
Interests
My main interest lies in GUI's though I would like to go into Embedded Systems. At the moment one of the
things I would like to learn is Extending Python using C.
