Novice. I know basic Java, basic C++, basic XML, basic HTML, basic AS3, and basic CSS. ©

I`ve been programming professionally since 1990, first in C, then C++, and now in PHP. I`ve been doing proprietary web app development in PHP full time since 2003. I`ve seen PEAR come and go, used Zend Framework 1.x, and am now using Composer to bring in the likes of Slim, Symfony, Aura, and whatever else is useful today. I`m pretty well versed with databases and SQL, specifically MySQL using InnoDB, although I`m considering switching to Amazon Aurora and/or Maria DB. I also have quite a bit of experience with Javascript, jQuery, HTML, and CSS for front-end work. I use Emacs almost exclusively for all my programming work. A few years ago I started work on a legacy PHP project. I`ve spent the time slowing modernizing it. We`ve recently (2016) started a major round of UI updates, which will likely continue for some time. I`m actively creating an internal API that the new front end (written with jQuery and Telerik`s Kendo UI) uses. Previously I spent some time with C#, .NET, and WCF/RIA in a project that used Silverlight as the front end. Of course, as went Silverlight, so did the project. I also have a smattering of design experience, having done most of the design work for several of our web apps. Our graphic artists make it pretty with graphics, but I do the design. I recently started a blog (my listed website), which I intend to keep fairly programming related. I haven`t blogged consistently yet, but I`d like to at some point. Outside of programming, I dabble in music creation and 3D rendering. I`ve recently picked up a MIDI keyboard to help with the music and for the 3D stuff I love raytracing with POV-Ray, which you can see at my deviantArt account, linked from my website (on the About page). ©
