Development Skills

I started experimenting creating my first websites in 2004 and have since learned XHTML, CSS, PHP, MySQL, PostgreSQL and JavaScript (all of this by hands-on exercise, writing a MMORPG, a CMS and lots of other stuff). Around April 2007, having started my involvement with Ubuntu, I began learning Python, which has now become my favourite language. I'm also familiar with C, C++ (university) and Java (mobile applications development).

Below is a list of packaging related wiki pages that I've written:
