Background: I was born in CA, USA. My interest in computers started in the middle of High school when the Internet was really new. I decided to pick Computer Science as my major when I reached the Univ. and at the time, that major was new as well. As the years went on, my new found passion was creating webpages every chance I had. I graduated from the Univ. in 2000 with a CS degree. And before long, I picked up PHP and mysql because I needed to automate a lot of my content. And here I am today... doing the same stuff, for a living (just not on my own domain. heh)
Focus of work: Mostly creating web applications that help automate library functions.
Which platform do you use: Windows 2000
Fav PHP editor/IDE: Macromedia Homesite
What's your favorite PHP function/why? explode() - the name itself sounds fun. 😉
Tips for the noob: Start out with small projects and practice with simple functions before jumping into any large projects. 🙂 Reading the manual and tutorials always help too.
Why do you volunteer your time as a moderator? I really enjoy helping people as well as learning new things from them.
Free for all (anything you'd like to say): My other hobbies include photography and scrapbooking. They do sorta go hand-in-hand huh? I also enjoy doing artwork but haven't had much time to work on that.
If there's anything you'd like to ask... ask away. 😃
