What Do I Do?
I am an avid computer programmer, and web developer. I enjoy listening to various genres of music, and watching any movie that takes my fancy. I am also quite the TV addict, watching many shows from England, and America.
What Do I Know?
I have been a programmer for nearly 5 years now. I first started writing BASIC, and then HTML. Presently I mainly code in C/C++, and PHP/SQL. Below is a list of the programming and scripting languages that I am familiar with.
- ASP.NET
- Assembly (x86/x86-64 architecture)
- Bash scripting
- C
- C++
- C#
- Cascading style sheets
- HTML and XHTML
- Java
- JavaScript
- Objective-C
- Perl
- PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor
- SQL (MySQL and SQL Server)
- XML and XSLT
I find programming in C and C++ are what I mostly code in, so this has introduced me to various API libraries. I enjoy learning API for unusual platforms like the Nintendo DS, and Sony PlayStation Portable. API I am familiar with are listed below. I am currently developing in C#/ASP.NET for my new project.
- BSD Socket API
- GTK+ Widget API
- Microsoft Bluetooth API
- Microsoft Windows API
- Microsoft Winsock API
- Nintendo DS (Unofficial) API
- SkyGI (SkyOS API)
- Sony PlayStation Portable (Unofficial) API
Interesting platforms interest me, so I will install them and play around with programming on them. My favorite platform to program on is Microsoft's Windows, because I find the API is clean, and very well documented. Platforms I have done programming for are below.
- Linux
- Microsoft Windows (2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008)
- Nintendo DS
- SkyOS
- Sony PlayStation Portable
