PERSONAL CODING BACKGROUND
 
Coding

As well as writing PERL, JavaScript, ASP (VBScript and JScript), XML & shell script, I develop applications and applets in Java. I have also programmed in C and C-shell, on UNIX operating systems, since the start of the 1990's, (mainly using cc and gcc). I am also now using Java for some numerical modelling software I have been developing for astrophysics, quantum mechanics and rocket science (previously, I was using C++, but I infinitely prefer Java).

I've set up an office, which I refer to as "The Cyberlab" mainly due to the quantity of kit filling it. When working from the Cyberlab, I use both Sun Workstations and intel machines. Generally, my development tools have been:

One day, I may even write a LINUX device driver.
