About Brian
People ask me all the time, where did I learn to code and write web applications? The truth of the matter is when I worked for a small radio company in Fort Wayne, Indiana many years back, we didn't have the budgets to have someone build a website the "right" way, so I quickly learned myself how to code.
I'm one of those kinds that can't stand to not know how something works, so I ended up becoming compulsive about it, buying and reading reference books and tutorials as fast as I could. One thing lead to another. I started small learning just basic HTML (hyper-text markup language) and years later, I have become well versed in several server side languages and database programming.
What and How
One thing I love to do is design and create applications, administer solutions, and throw some things together just for fun. Naturally, to be in this business you have to love working with code and design software.
On the code side, I write most of my applications now using the PHP language. But, I am well versed in Adobe's ColdFusion from working in depth with the language for several years. Of late, I have really fallen in love with Ruby on Rails. Rails is easy to learn and is simply a beautiful language.
