Ray Nimmo’s Summary

The last few years has been a continual learning session for me. From university they were forcing Java and VB.NET down our throats, then I took it as a personal mission to learn as much as I could about XHTML and CSS, of which I feel I am a bit of a master now.

Lately I have been fine tuning my JavaScript knowledge whilst learning new libraries such as Prototype and jQuery.

Growing up I was always drawing, my preferred medium was either soft pencil or chalk. Lately I have been trying to rediscover my art skills to aid me in my future and to help improve upon my web design skills.

This year I want to:
- Learn Ruby,
- Improve my JavaScript knowledge,
- Improve my Flash skills,
- Read more books that are not associated with coding,
- Draw more (paper and pencil)
