A Brief Introduction

Hello World!

What's this blog for?

It is 1) for my reference. I go long stretches sometime between coding, and I forget a great deal, and relearning from scratch is a pain. And 2) for new coders interested in some occasional tidbits of information.

I'm a network administrator by day, and a dad and husband by night, so programming is merely a hobby for me.

I began teaching myself PHP in 2010, and got to the point that I could put together small web projects. Very small, mind you - and probably very ugly. Since I'm teaching myself, I have little doubt that I'm picking up strange habits, or missing very simple solutions to things sometimes. It's been almost entirely procedural PHP, but recently I've begun getting into OOP: Code Igniter, MVC, a little Doctrine. And I've learned some JQuery and some Ajax.

OOP and MVC is where I get confused currently, so I'll be steering this blog down that path initially in order to help me better understand and retain it.

Lets see how it goes!
