Thank you for taking the time to visit my online portfolio. I have tried to include as many examples of my skills in the small amount of webspace allocated to me as possible. This site is only a prototype of my online resume that I am putting together at the moment. I hope that you find it easy to use and you can locate the information you are looking for.
You can find all my contact information at the bottom of this page.

Visual Basic 4, & 5 Programming

I have written many proograms over the last three years most of them have become redundant at some point as I have a tendency to improve on my software almost daily.
I am currently looking into starting an online qualifications course leading to a MSCD (Microsoft Certified Developer) as having read the information on these courses I shouldn't have any problems in accomlishing a good score during the test.
On this site I am restricted to a small amount of webspace so I only have one download for my Visual Basic skills (soon to be more when I find a better server). It is in WinZip format so if you don't have winzip then go and get it.

This example demonstrates the use of win32's API calls to get information about all the windows and frames displayed on your screen at any one time.

Internet Design

I have been able to give you a few more examples in this section. Some of the sites may still be working progress but usefull for you to see nonetheless.

The first site is for a Bouncy Castle Hire Company. This site shows the use of image maps to create more colourful and interesting menus.

The next site, Performance Auto Services, is for a mobile mechanic who specializes in high performance engine tuning and other performance vehicles. He also caters for more down to earth vehicles on a day to day basis.

Finally this site is for my fathers Driving School. It is unfinished as I still have to debug some code for the sample question papers. This site denstrates my use of JScript to get better site effects, and a more interesting interface for the user.

There's also another link here which is local to this site. Its a custom guestbook that I have made using Microsoft Access. At the moment there is only the view and edit pages but it offers a good example of embedding a database behind a web page.

Microsoft Office Skills

I wanted to add this section for two reasons, firstly at a recent interview I was asked to produce some source code in Access, and also sometimes people over look the fundamental skills needed to use a PC running under a Microsoft enviroment.

Microsoft Office is one of the main packages used in business, so a few years ago I made the decision to get stuck into it and learn how to use it fully.

My example below is as I mentioned above and Access database, using the form code to complete various tasks. Once again this file has been compressed with WinZip.

 

Graphics

To me my graphics, using Adobe Photoshop, started out as a hobby. However with my site design it soon became a usefull skill. You can see exampes of graphics that I have made on all my sites but I also wanted to add some of the art I have made for my hobby.

Most of these examples are edited photographs as this is what I enjoy doing, and I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed making them.

Ice Queen

I made this picture for a friends windows background using several different images. You might recognise the girl in this picture, I found the photo and decided to make something of it. This is a photo of a friend of mine, she sent me the photo and asked me to make her look different... I think I manged that. This picture started from three photos of York Cathederal and the finished product has yet to be used.
