Welcome to knowj.com. This is my personal development website where I test out my new skills and developments.
I have recently finished a 3 year Bsc (hons) Web Technology at the University of Lincoln with Upper Second Class Honors (2.1). After completing my degree I went straight into full time work at Nzime Design Consultants in Nottingham as their web developer (I prefer to call it code monkey). My roles include development of both dynamic and static websites, managing, developing and updating e-commerce systems one of which I personally developed withe use use of Object Oriented Programming techniques allowed by PHP5 interfacing with a MySQL 5 database.
I have studied web development and design for around 7 years starting off a a hobby, but soon realised that web development was my strongest skill. I swiftly moved from procedural to object oriented programming within my first few years at university allowing me to create more stable and secure systems in a fraction of the time of a standard procedural web application/website.
Along with Object Oriented techniques, PHP and SQL I am also fluent in semantic xHTML, CSS, web standards and accessibility. All of these are skills which I feel are essential to allow me to develop my career as a web developer. Javascript is currently my weakness with the syntax being vary different to that of PHP. This is an area I am currently developing myself in and it isn't proving to be too big of a task considering all programming languages seem to follow the same rules and techniques.
