About Me & The Site
Hi! Thanks for visiting my website. I am a web developer (PHP, .Net, JSP/Servlets, XHTML, Javascript, CSS, MySQL) I have recently completed a Bsc Honours degree in computing science at the University of Glasgow. This site is basically a place for me to link to some of my projects, experiment with a few ideas and recommend various web development tools and articles.
- Location: I switch between Glasgow and Annan depending on the season but can frequently be spotted in Dundee.
- Tools: Notepad++, Eclipse, Visual Studio 08, Photoshop, Firefox w/ Firebug.
- Fan of: chicken korma, the bass, Man United, FC Barcelona (Yes, strange combo), The Office (us), City of God
- Bookmarks: Digg, Facebook, BBC Football, Coding Horror
This version of my site (~v3000) utilizes a new CSS Framework called Blueprint which I stumbled across in a Nettuts+ article. Blueprint sets you up with number of premade css files for typography, grid layout classes, form stylings, a handy reset and the dreaded IE fixes. This is great if your more of a developer than designer. To see how easy to use it is take a look at my stylesheet. The only CSS I added was that directly in the file. The imports do the rest!
