However, I thoroughly enjoy writing a good algorithm in C++ any day :)
Currently running and developing a new software development and website design firm entitled the RapidWebs Organization; We are currently working on our own Fleet of Products for just about everything from the Android and other Mobile phone platforms, to the PC and Server, as well as plans for Consoles such as the Xbox using XNA within the XBLA Indie Development Scene!
We also offer comprehensive Services to our potential Clients, including Free Assessments and Appraisals! Some of our Services include the Obvious, but also come with an elegant employee substructure ranging in all areas of expertise from Micro-Management to Concept Artists, and even everything else needed to help a new Product flourish such as SEO Specialists, Marketing Gurus, IT Consultation and so much more!
Past Experience
I currently have about 10 years of Computer Programming and General Server Administration Experience. the business I operate under most often is entitled the RapidWebs Organization.
I have, in the past, worked on small bits of code here and there for all sorts of business;
- small contracted jobs for Bank of Montreal
- a Gardening and Gazebo Website, which included an employee iphone based application.
- networking code for several indie games and applications.
- dozens on small to medium scale websites.
- content management system setup and integration. custom code for clients to merge their userbases and content across multiple websites
- Many other custom applications, both for PC and the Server.
- more recently, have been contracted to several small programming jobs, specifically helping and aiding development teams working on Mobile Platforms such as Iphone and Android
- and so on and so forth.
However, we have done Really well on our own Proprietary Software, which includes, but is also not limited to:
- Android Apps
- Small Browser Games
- Independent Software for Windows
- Server applications
- Development Tools and SDK's
- etc
learning a new language, or a new subset of API is simply a Must as a Programmer (to know how to do). in my mind, you are not a Programmer until you can sit down at nearly any IDE and begin programming in nearly Any language within that very same day.
however, for the sake of listing experience, some languages I enjoy programming in, include, but are not limited too:
- C/C++ (both GCC/MinGW & MSVC)
- C# / .Net (both M$ and Mono)
- Java / JDK (both Standard APIs & Android Derivatives)
- PHP / ASP / Perl (CGI)
- Visual Basic (both 6 & .Net)
- Limited ASM (mainly Shaders & other arbitrary code)
- JavaScript ( and any other ECMAStandard equivalent such as unityscript, unrealscript, etc)
- HTML, CSS, Limited Flash, Etc
- Python
- Windows .Bat files, BASH, and other operating system based batch file interpreted languages
- Some Ruby, Some Microsoft F#, as well as many other Languages used oddly or from time to time (mainly due to Client Request, or for Educational Experience)
as you can see I am not Virgin when it comes to coding, and I have dipped my Toes into just about any waters.
I do not claim to know everything. in fact, a programmer is only as good as his language (or SDK and API for that matter XD). what I mean is that I believe that any body out there who enjoys programming will reach their Plateau some day, where they finally realize that Languages Pose No Barriers, but rather, the Programmer (and other team members) do!
Spending many hard hours programming, always learning, and all the while, having great Work Ethic is the Key; the only way to get things done (and to get them done right). Any programmer knows this :)

Other Post Secondary Education:
I have plans to attend my local college for a 2-4 year course for Computer Programming and Systems Design. the courses have been changing, and my business and personal life has been taking up alot of my free time, thus, it has been a not-so-far off dream of mine.
however, when the time comes, it will only be another notch in the belt, and will only help PUSH my business and other personal endeavors (career wise). it is only necessary to help keep me focused, to harden my skills, and to get the Papers stating just what I am capable of!
