Hobby Programmer
I have experience building websites, mobile and desktop applications while utilizing PHP, SQL, HTML, CSS, Dart, Net, Java and Flutter.
Langauge Tools
Websites:
HTML, CSS, and Javascript: These are the core building blocks of the web, enabling you to create interactive and visually appealing websites. Dart: While less common for typical website development compared to front-end frameworks like React or Angular, Dart is the language for Flutter, which can be used to build web applications.
Mobile and Desktop Applications:
Net: A robust platform often used for building Windows desktop applications and a range of applications, including web applications and services. Java: A widely used language for enterprise-level applications, Android mobile development, and more.
Flutter:
A cross-platform framework that lets you build native-quality mobile, web, and desktop apps from a single codebase (using Dart).
Server-Side
PHP and MySQL are commonly used together for web development. PHP is a server-side scripting language, while MySQL is a popular open-source relational database management system. They work together to create dynamic websites and web applications, where PHP handles the logic and MySQL stores and retrieves data.
My Philosophy
Programming computers provides a unique blend of problem-solving, creative expression, and continuous learning. It is comparable to tackling complex puzzles, which challenges someone to think logically and break down intricate issues into manageable parts. The satisfaction from writing code and transforming it into something functional is incredibly rewarding.
The process of turning abstract concepts into tangible realities, creating applications and solutions, is enjoyable. The constant evolution of technology means there is always something new to explore, pushing someone to expand their skillset and embrace lifelong learning.
Even the challenges, like debugging, become opportunities for growth. The "aha!" moment when a tricky problem is solved is incredibly satisfying. Ultimately, programming is a way to express creativity, build useful things, and continuously sharpen the mind.
