nolan 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2009 Hello everyone.It's a little bit late, but I figured I'd post an introduction anyway. My name is Nolan, as you might have guessed. I am a professional designer (I do anything from layout design to web design, promotional design, 3D modeling, illustration work, and more). I own my own design firm and administer several web projects of various proportions.My educational background is a mixture between business and technology. I hold an M.S. in Management Information Systems and a Masters of Business Administration, along with several technical certifications and a few emergency management certifications from a previous role I held working for the government. I will also soon be a doctoral candidate for a Ph. D. in Information Technology.I program/script in Python, PHP, Javascript (AJAX-related, mostly), HTML, and CSS. Previously, I have done work with Java, Perl, and C++, as well, with a very, very small amount of Ruby speckled in. The work I do with Python and PHP relates mostly to web-related imaging services and communications platforms. Back when I worked with Java, I was using the language for 3D projects.For applications, I've worked with too many to list, both professionally and personally.Beyond all of this, and foremost in my life, I enjoy spending time with my wife and daughter. I also enjoy cooking, music composition and editing, philosophy, and whatever else draws my attention at a particular moment in time.That's me in a nut shell!

webishqiptar 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2009 Great Introduction. You have so many achievements up there in real life. So what are u seeking here at trrap17? I always liked the web, and programming languages( or best describes, what's hiding behind it) and I only could learn just some php, html and css(with the latter being lots of familiar). Good background dude and welcome to Xisto. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My reason for joining this community was primarily to have something to look over and contribute to when I'm in the middle of projects but just want a quick breather away from looking at code/design work.@mich - Thank you for the warm welcome. I look forward to helping out around the community and seeing what other people are working on, too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
