What this blog is all about?

I created this blog in June 2007, my goal was to help people become webmasters or rather web developers, as server side programming is my main area of competence. I also like to present fresh insights on different aspects of programming, mainly on object oriented programming

There are many resources on the internet on similar topic, but what i think makes my website different (or better) is that i tend to write not about things that are popular, but on topics that are not well known in the community but i am confident they will help you in web development as much as they helped me in the first place. i also like to put in my articles source code ready to use – just copy & paste it.

About Me

My first contact with programming was in almost 10 years ago, back in high school, i remember how it didn’t made any sense to me (for example i=i+1), not to mention alghoritms. For two years i dabbled with just to finish class. But on the third year i had to write on paper sorting alghoritm i thaught ‘i am so fu**ed’, the rest of the class is playing Quake II online while i have to write this. There is no wy i am going to do it and more over i do not knowe where to start. I spent on it one and half of hour almost run out of time, but i did it. As i think of it now, it was one of the most important moments in my life, since then i never asked my self: ‘Is it possible?’, ‘Can i do it?’. but rather ‘How can i do it?’, now i am confident that if i put in the work the results will come.

First big achivement was winning programming contest organised by php.pl, it was named object oriented programming for beginners, the goal of the contest was to create and document class in a way that will make it easy for beginners to understand it. I remember that i created shopping cart for them, and that they never sent me the prize

At the same time i was writing for polish web development portal www.webinside.pl wrote few articles, but writing articles for them felt more like a job (which i was not getting paid for) then fun, so i left, although i am still on authors list.

Currently i work as a full time programmer for a software development company in Poland.
