programming skills
PHP[ Experience: Since 2007 - Present ]
When it comes to code, PHP has always been my favorite choice. For the last 2 years I’ve worked on a variety of personal and client based projects ranging from full featured community to corporate collaboration.
MySql [ Experience: Since 2007 - Present ]
With every good PHP application comes a database. MySQL comes in the first place. It’s fast, light-weight and comes pre-installed on almost all hosting servers today. I find MySQL to be more then adequate for the majority of my projects.
XHTML[ Experience: Since 2007 - Present ]
I was fascinated with XHTML when one friend of mine show me his picture in a static web page and his name was marqueed and ultimately it is one of the tool of my profession.
CSS [ Experience: Since 2007 - Present ]
CSS was the first thing I did while I started my career in Web Development. I quickly picked it up after discovering its benefits and possibilities. Today I have a history of programming an assortment of CSS designs including liquid layouts and graphic-heavy absolute positioning.
Javascript/Ajax/Ext JS [ Experience: Since 2007 - Present ]
Javascript is also one of my favorite while developing websites. Rather coding js application directly, I prefer to use frameworks such as Prototype/ jQuery or Ext JS when developing Ajax driven applications. Furthermore, Ext JS is one I prefer to use because of its implementation ease to acheive RIA and one of the promising tool for these days web applications.
C# [ Experience: Since 2007 - Present ]
I found C# one of the best languages while developing desktop applications. I used this language in my last couple of semesters during my graduation where I chose this language to develop a desktop application as my final year project. Later I developed one more software using this tool. But my preference has been changed to PHP/MySql/Ajax/Ext Js, so I rarely review on this tool these days.
C [ Experience: Since 2007 - Present ]
C is mother of all language and source of my inspiration too. Since this is the first programming language I have ever learned for the first time in my life, I have a strong attachment with this language. Though, I seldom do any C program, but it was the one with the help of which, I developed my skill in programming and logic development.
C++/Java [ Experience: Less than a Year ]
What I see is Java has really got promising future in the development of Information Communication Technology. During my graduation, it was one of my favorite, unluckily, I could not explore more. It is the same with C++. But the concept of OOP was understood with the help of these two language which is still useful for my projects and my profession.
other skills
Networking
Networking is also one of my interest. I am handy with Basic LAN Configuration (Windows/Linux), and some Servers setup such as Web Server(Apache), DNS(BIND), Mail Server(POP, SMTP) in both IPv4/IPv6 especially in Linux.
Linux & Open Source
I love Linux as much as C. I do still enjoy dabbling with its different capabilities especially I like to play with command & codes in Black & White screen. I find Linux is great for servers. The skill I have earned to use Linux was quite impossible if I was unaware of Open Source and Open Source Community. Luckily I am the member of some of best opensource communities such as IT-Toolbox and our own FOSS Nepal Community, NOSK to help me out when I get lost. I have been using Ubuntu for over a year for all my development works. Working on totally open source platform inspire you more to keep up the spirit of the open source.
