mckgr Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Well this board doesn't seem to garner many replies, but I'll introduce myself anyway. I'm Mike Rees, a 21 year old student in the UK studying Artificial Intelligence with Robotics at De Montfort University. I'm currently on my placement year, working at a local (to the Uni) web development company that I won't name... We work primarily in PHP, though recently there's been a lot of Actionscript and some C++ work. On a personal level, I've been programming since I was 11. I got into PHP when I was 14, and haven't stopped working with it since. Despite this, I'm slow on the uptake with new concepts, and in general with changes to my (somewhat narrow) view of how I want to code. For example, I only started programming in OO late 2009, because of a Java module for my course that finally allowed me to grasp it. Since starting my placement, however, I've had to program in a variety of situations regardless of my opinions, because I'm working for money, and I've opened up to the idea that maybe the elitists are right, not just assholes... Anyway, I've joined because my friend base of programmers that I talk to online has shrunk to 1. An unreliable 1, who lives 2000 miles away. I'm interested in making friends, giving and receiving help, etc... Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikachu2000 Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 This board doesn't get many replies because frankly, there's an unbelievable number of people who post here saying they just can't wait to be a part of the community, and want to learn everything there is to know about php, but that's the last post they ever make. Forgive my cynicism, that's just the way it is. But, if you do stick around, (and I sincerely hope you will), welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mckgr Posted January 15, 2011 Author Share Posted January 15, 2011 Yea, most forums seem to be plagued with that issue. I hope I stick around too... I've just started working on a large application so no doubt I will have plenty of things that I could post about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
