About Me

Hello, my name is Peter and I’m a software engineer based in the UK.

My first computer was the Amstrad CPC6128 where I wrote1 extremely linear text adventure games with glorious ASCII art. I moved onto an Amiga where I played with programming in AMOS and discovered the power of the for loop. The rest, as they say, is history. I have been programming on and off since then and have done so professionally for well over a decade.

Why am I writing this blog?

For one I want to share my love of technology and specifically programming. I have worked with many different technologies and platforms over the years and want to try and share some of the things I have learned along the way. I am planning to write short, tips and tricks, style posts alongside longer, more in depth tutorial series on various different technologies.

Also no opening blog post on a programming related site would be complete without the obligatory …

function hello() {
    console.log("hello world!")
}
hello();

  1. I should say attempted to write really, I was only 9, the games were not very good… ↩
