- » What I do
-
- I'm a web developer, not a designer. I make websites work. They look fairly decent too. But if I want them to be highly professional, I get a designer.
- I create semantically correct HTML. No tables for layout. No confusing source code. Just take a look at the code for this page!
- I use CSS3 and put up with Internet Explorer's short comings.
- I follow best practices.
- I use PHP. I not as interested in Perl, Python, Ruby on Rails, .NET, ColdFusion, or Java.
- I love Drupal. I'm okay with Expression Engine and Wordpress. I can't stand Joomla.
- I use frameworks to work more efficiently and have less errors.
- I know SQL like the back of my hand.
- I can make JavaScript do amazing things, especially with jQuery.
- I love Open Source Software. I hate licenses.
- I use LAMP. I avoid things like IIS.
