Hey,

I've finally got off my lazy ass after working at WDS for two years or so with the likes of DafyddRees, KeithBraithwaite, JosephPelrine (and OliBye for about 2 seconds) and finally put up a page here - pretty shocking really due to the fact that I've been using and linking to this wiki from our company one for a while...

Background

I started life as an artist, doing a Fine Art degree.

So my move into software programming goes something like this:

Photography > Commercial design (print and web) > web site development > web app development > fully fledged software programming.

I've been making and using object type code for a few years now, and been working with the XP/scrum hybridised agile methodology they use in WDS for about a year.

I've been through a few different languages as in my programming career, and seem to be mostly using Java and C# nowadays, which seems to answer most of the problems I have (though not always gracefully I must say...), and am currently in the guts of a quasi-MVP type system

http://www.itstherules.co.uk hosts a C# wiki that I've just chucked up, and will start to populate when I've got two minutes...
