Nathan Letwory’s Summary

Projects designed and executed in C/C++, C# and .NET 2.0, PHP/MySQL and Java (mostly for the MHP platform), Python, Lua.

In the Blender 3D community I'm know also as jesterKing.

Experience also with Lua (extending and embedding), C++, Perl and Python (extending and embedding).
