welcome

Hello, my name is Jordan Terry, I currently live in a town called Gosport, in the south of England.

This is me, and yes, I have flown an airplane!

I am currently studying for a degree in Software Engineering at University in Southampton. So far I am ejoying the course, it is tough as we are given a lot of work to do, with very strict deadlines to meet. I am enjoying the challenge and I am learning a lot of new things that are allowing me to improve the way that I work.

When I was very young my Dad taught me the basics of Web Design, html and css, since giving me a head start he is still giving me cool tips and teaching me new techniques to help me improve. I designed my first commercial website at the age of thirteen. The website was for my piano teacher, The Music Room, this website, and the knowledge I have gained from it helped me to get my job as a Web Designer at Tidy Design. Tidy Design is a Web Design company based in Portsmouth, I have been with the company for four months now, and I have been able to work a wide variety of websites, from simple one page websites to the websites of large successful companies.

I like to think that my "speciality" is PHP programming, it is the job I applied for afterall! However, I have gained a lot experience working with Javascript, mainly with jQuery. I am also starting to get the hang of working with Photoshop. I am currently learning C++ as part of my University course, and I am currently teaching myself Scala.

Thanks for reading this far, hopefully I haven't bored you yet! Please look through the rest of the site and share it with your friends!
