Just a little bit about yourself?
I am 5 foot 11, brown hair, blue eyes. I enjoy weight lifting, running and martial arts. I am currently in to playing tennis at the moment when at the office "working".
|
How did you get interested in coding?
When i first got on the internet i was really scared of getting a virus or getting hacked. So i researched loads about hacking. I also always wanted to know how .exe files were made! Through the research i found out about programming and then found that one of the students at the Tae Kwon Do club i went to was a programmer! I asked her how to get started and she pointed me in the direction of Visual Basic and the SAMS Teach Yourself books... it took off from there!
|
What do you least enjoy about coding?
The foundations of any language get a little tedious such as if, if else, switch, querying the database, etc.
|
What do you enjoy most about coding?
The freedom it gives you! Instead of looking for a program that suit your needs... make it! I like the challenge as well since some programs and algorithms are not easy to think of.
I also like it when people use the work i have done as it gives me a nice feeling that my work is appreciated.
|
Do you write code as a hobby, or because you have to for work?
Both! I enjoy coding in my free time because there is not as much pressure and i can take my time to get it perfect (or as near to). When i am at work i always have deadlines and much more pressure.
|
How did you learn how to write code?
SAMS Teach Yourself books along with the internet. Since my primary language these days is PHP the php.net website is a very useful resource!
|
Anything else you want to mention?
Yeah. I applied at University to do Computer Science, i got accepted (2nd best university in Britain for employment rates and is the best in the whole of Yorkshire), but i declined at the last minute! Reason i declined is because i decided to start up my own web business.
