I learnt my first programming language around the age of 8, it was VB6 and as dire as it was, it holds a special place in my heart. After VB6, I learnt VB.NET, followed swiftly by C#. I learnt other languages such as Python and PHP a few years later.
Nowadays, PHP is my main language, and is what I code for my job working with Auxilium Software I still do some work in C#.NET, but nowhere near as much as I used to.
I worked at ABER Instruments for just over a year on an industrial placement as part of my uni degree. I really enjoyed the time I spent with the company, and I felt like I was really part of the team.
For the last half of the placement, I was working on a new internal HR "coaching" portal. The portal would allow members of staff to organise meetings, find available meeting spaces, take notes, and more. It was built using PHP and no frameworks, a decision I both do and do not regret making.
This is where I work nowadays, working on version 2 of our "Auxilium" case management portal. The GitHub repository can be found right here!
The portal is built using PHP, and once again, no frameworks. We use a custom-built Graph database called Deegraph (available here).
