Hey guys!!
Wow what a clean site! This site is (without a lie or intent of sucking up) the kind of site operation I go for when designing sites!
Nice work.
Ok hey guys you will all know me as Davy or DavH27 but only my real name if you earn my trust
I am here to introduce myself as that is only polite to do so.
My programming experience stretches as far back as in middle school in year 7 when I started picking up books in the library teaching BASIC. Yeah I'm still surprised now at the fact a middle school library has books on BASIC programming! I'm glad it did tho because it taught my all about the basics of computers as well as the BASIC language itself that many of us take for granted. That stuff was pretty basic within itself... (too many puns
)
I never really practiced BASIC becasue I had to save the program to a tape thta had to be recorded, played to debug etc etc and it took ages so I could not be bothered. I would rather bash myself up on my push bike outside anyway! :rock:
It then got to about year 10 in secondary school that I wanted to learn how to code websites and it was within a year I knew the majority of the syntax and was interested in knowing those other 'funny' languages I read about on the web. I then stumbled accross a lil gem called CSS that was HUGELY the rage back then. If you had css on your site - you was cutting edge and to be feared on cyber space. I gradually learned this over a slow 2 years until I reached college after year 11 at the age of 16 I was almost forced into visual basic 6.
Oh how that language used to drive me screwy! It was officially the first programming language that I got to practice for myself. Obviously debugging and testing conditions were alot mroe advanced and easier then back in the day of tape drives of my Spectrum ZX.
I coded SQL into my VB6 programs and manipulated databases and soon enough, within the first few monthes of our first project I snapped. I was explosive. The guys in the next road knew what Davy was coding vb6 ~ "GODDAMN PIECE OF SH*T!!!" you could hear me miles away. I'm not proud of it but vb6 had drove me to a madman andI became violent until I found harmony in music... I was the only exception in college to be allowed to play music with headphones on in class because I never said a word the entire day!
Fast forward 4 years after I failed college the first time round then reapplied. I passed college!! BTEC National Diploma for IT Practitioners plus a few extra modules on webdesign and CAD and got an overall Merit.
I have left college now and have been practicing my VB6 now to the point of DLLs, APIs and registry manipulation. I have only recently picked up a JavaScript tutorial book and am at the point of using arrays in loops.
I have a website with a portfolio but it isn't online just yet (the portfolios) that can be found at

Ok enough about my programming skills... I am a 19 year old little white boy living in the 'burbs of London in a town called Slough. I am half Welsh, quarter English and a quarter Russian. I say this because I believe fellow coders are mature enough to not bother.
I am a part time, soon to be full time bar man with an intense passion for music in many forms. I enjoy my beers, my friends and my programming future (even though I want to do CAD for a living).
Well...that's enough on me, Good evening guys!! I hope you will accept my presence on the forum...
