The Man Behind the Site
I am a Professional PHP Programmer in Henderson/Las Vegas, Nevada, and provide PHP programming tutorials, articles, news, and travel information about my expeditions around the Southwest. Here you will find tutorials on custom PHP MVC frameworks, my suggested reading, insight into Object-Oriented Programming, and my ventures into the various languages I program with.
My specialty is Object-Oriented PHP in the Kohana and Zend frameworks, with MySQL queries to deliver the data. I also have experience in a multitude of scripting and programming languages, including Perl, Python, Java, JavaScript, C/C++, and have recently picked up Objective C 2.0 to dive into iPhone and iPod touch application development.
I earned an Associate of Applied Science Degree in Multimedia Drafting and Design from ITT Technical Institute, and worked as a graphic designer for about a year. I did contract work for a series of companies as a one-stop development shop, but decided to make the transition to full-time programming, as I realized that it was my preference over design.
I spend time writing bots and spiders for work and play, and also enjoy building Linux Servers and Desktop machines for multiple platforms. I never met an operating system I didn't like, and currently, Ubuntu, Vista, and Mac grace my desktop in various forms.
Music is another passion of mine, and I dedicate a fair portion of downtime to playing guitar and writing songs. You can view/listen to some of my songs and lyrics by clicking 'Music' in the main menu.
