More About Me

I'm a 17 year old student living in Falmouth, Cornwall. I'm studying A-Levels in Maths, Further Maths, Computing & English Language and Lit. After these I hope to go to Bath University to read Computer Science. However if I don't get those grades then I'll be going to Bristol UWE to do the same course. My interest in Web started at around age 12 when my dad decided to start a part time web design business, F2 Web Design Ltd, which I now work a lot on, with our clients. (I also designed the site, by the way!). Once teaching myself HTML and CSS I moved onto PHP, using one book as a reference and slowly just picking up new stuff from the PHP Manual online, Google searches and a lot of asking on various forums. I then once again got bored so moved on to Javascript and eventually jQuery. A lot of my web work is actually writing, I really enjoy writing tutorials for others and I am the managing editor of online publication The Web Squeeze.

get2meetme get2meet.me

get2meet.me was designed and developed by myself. The site used PHP & mySQL to allow users to register and log in. They would then give the application usernames to various online services, such as Twitter, Delicious & Flickr (to name a few). Using RSS feeds g2m.m then fetched the data and aggregated it on one page.

Round the Clock Security RTC Security

Round the Clock Security wanted a simple site to showcase their company. Due to the sheer volume of text, Sarah & Chris wanted to keep the site plain and simple. We went for a very minimal look which they were delighted with.

The Web Squeeze TWS Tutorials

The Web Squeeze is a popular tutorial site for web design & development. I wrote my first article for them in summer 2008 and have gone on to write over 20 times for the site. I have since joined the team as managing editor and in this role I am tasked with scheduling posts each week, writing articles and also contacting potential authors.

Mootools & jQuery : Inserting Elements

Well as you know I’ve been trying out MooTools recently, including starting a new series “Journey Into MooTools” at thewebsqueeze.com. And I have to say I really like it, especially creating elements. For example, I find: var img = new Element("img", { src: 'myimage.jpg', 'class': 'galleryimg', alt: 'Check out this image' }); Nicer than: var img = $("<img /">).attr("alt", "Check out this [...]
