About Me
I was born in Newall Green, Manchester and have lived my entire life in the pleasant suburban town of Sale, Cheshire, approximately 5 miles south-west of Manchester in the United Kingdom. As a child, I attended Temple Moor Infants' School, Moorlands Junior School and as a teenager, Ashton-on-Mersey school where I excelled academically and began to develop my interest in computing and information technology.
After leaving school, I studied at North Trafford College and subsequently the Manchester Metropolitan University, where I furthered my knowledge and interests in computing, in particular software and web development.
Soon after using a Vic-20 for the first time at the age of 7, I became fascinated by the BASIC programming language, and began to write my first simple, text-based programs on the Commodore C-64 and eventually progressed to the Atari ST and Amiga systems, though was soon set on acquiring an IBM compatible PC, the fastest at the time boasting a 486 processor and an impressive 8 megabytes of RAM. I began to develop applications in the Delphi programming language and soon progressed to Visual Basic. After starting college, I began to teach myself lower level languages such as C, C++ and Java, but found myself becoming more interested in server-side web languages, in particular PHP, which I began learning in 2003, ASP.net and Perl in 2006 and Ruby on Rails in 2008.
My career ambition is to become a web developer, working with HTML, JavaScript, PHP and Perl projects. I am strongly commited to developing well-formed, valid XHTML markup and producing clean, uncluttered layouts.
