Shortly after that, I started experimenting with that computer, using an ancient language called BASIC.
\n\n\n\nSince that time technological development has accelerated. Today a common wrist watch has more computing power than my first computer had. Computer languages have been developed. Programming has become more visual and moved to a higher level.
\n\n\n\nProfessional work
\n\n\n\nI began work as a professional web developer in the previous millennium, more than 20 years ago while I was a student at the Technical University of Gdańsk. In those years I was writing CGI scripts in Pearl. I also started programming in PHP3 which was just announced as a new programming language dedicated to web development.
\n\n\n\nPresently, I use modern programming languages and technologies such as JavaScript, PHP7, CSS3. From time to time I do some tiny tasks in Python, Node.js or Java. To handle datasets I prefer MySQL for its speed.
\n\n\n\nIn most cases, I deal with applications with a user interface based on a web browser. I believe this is the most useful and platform-independent way of communicating between user and application.
\n\n\n\nPower of a web browser
\n\n\n\nI am not a devotee of reinventing the wheel but in many cases fatty frameworks are overused. In general, I prefer “Vanilla” programming to utilise frameworks … but as always it depends on the circumstances.
\n\n\n\nI like programming but …
\n\n\n\nDespite having used computers a lot for many years, I have many other interests. Thanks to many other activities, after over 30 years, I still have fun with programming and I’m happy to have a job I like.
\n\n\n\nIn many cases, I treat articles on this blog as a recap for my self. Despite that, I strive for all text to be correct and properly written. This is a kind of exercise and opportunity to practice writing in English. I’m not a native English speaker. Should you find some mistakes or hard to read grammatical constructions, please let me know.
\n\n\n\nI hope you will find some useful information here not only about computers but also about other matters.
