Hi all, I've been teaching myself web development for 15 years after I taught myself vba and Access databases (With a lot of help from the web of course).
From simple database driven websites I specialised in html emails for a while and built a PHP MySQL driven html email Newsletter building application for a company I was working for and am now building a custom CRM / Time-sheet system for the company I am now working for, again using PHP and MySQL (and HTML and CSS).
I'm loving expanding on it and adding new features and making people's job easier and more productive.
I've also been developing Wordpress websites for a while.
I love learning and love passing on what I've learnt.
Thanks Chris, I do enjoy working with PHP and have been using PDO and prepared queries for a long time now. I do get a joy out of refractoring and optimising my code especially once I learned to create my own custom functions. I would still rank myself as just entering intermediate skill level though and look forward to improving my PHP coding skills. I am particularly interested in security and am always looking for ways to make my web based applications more secure.
