About

Self taught programmer (10 year old with a ZX-81 then a Spectrum). Did an Engineering degree and only really enjoyed the computing lectures. Spent 10 years at a software company consulting on Visual Basic. Left in 2002 to start my own media production company. Realised I needed to feed my inner geek and do some coding again. Was about to buy a Spectrum off ebay and have a go at some really low level stuff... until I got an iPhone...

3 Years down the track and loving Objective C, Cocoa-Touch and the Apple product set.
