About Me
I'm a 20 year old student, originally from Hempstead, Kent, but now based in Portsmouth, Hampshire, where I am in the middle of studying for my undergraduate degree in Computer Science.
About This Website
I've always been interested in how the web works but only created my first website in 2004. This was using Microsoft FrontPage and it was a hobby that stopped as other subjects took up more of my time.
Fast forward to the winter of 2007, when I began my degree at Portsmouth, and one of the first units that was studied was Web Authoring & Design, where the task was to create a small website using CSS and HTML. This unit formed the initial codebase for a lot of my website drafts which I then returned to and modified or even completely re-designed.
Having recently completed my second year at the University, I felt that this website needed to be re-worked so I could use it for:
- Develop my existing knowledge of PHP, MYSQL, HTML, Javascript on a platform that I can truly call my own.
- Experiment with ideas before my Dissertation.
I have always believed in the ethos of Open Source Software and in all of my projects, I try and use OSS as much as I can provided it yields good results. For a list of software packages which I use, please visit the Projects section of the site.
