*Stands in the crowded room, and waits for the hush to fall* "Ahem,... Hi. My name is Sel, and I am addicted to coding" -- *chorus of voices...* "Hello Sel..." haha I guess I better introduce myself if I plan on being involved in this community. The following will roughly establish my age... I Majored in Computer sciences when in school, graduating with extra post ed creds. (about the time when the mac was introduced.) I then traveled internationally a lot, and for several years didn't touch a computer. Got back into them, but by that time the internet was well established :o, and everything I knew before was now completely useless for me. :'( (pascal? is that ever used anymore?) So, I took it upon myself to teach myself the foreign concept of internet protocol and languages (took me no time for HTML) and started back into primitive programming for website design. Slowly over the years I have been able to fine-tune my skills, and had introduced myself to various languages, but then dropped the whole coding world for a few years when I got into the graphic world and became a Photoshop junkie. (still have yet to teach myself Flash...) but now I am back into the coding world. The one that I am liking the most and want to hone my skills with is PHP with MySQL. I remember about 6 years ago stating to myself (where ASP was everywhere) that PHP is the language of the future (and maybe I am a bit biased with my whole 'Open Source / Share the Knowledge' mentality) It sure has changed since I first had a gander at it. I have some special skills in other fields that I might be able to help with. (Dreamweaver 4 -> CS3 ... Same thing with Photoshop (8 through CS3) I now currently reside in Mexico, but I am originally from Canada. I love to travel, and working on my third spoken language. Please to meet you! -Sel (the newbie)
