Welcome to DarrellsRevenge graphic + web design. You're here because you are either looking for someone to complete your online project, or you happened to come across my business card on top of some bar stall urinal. As long as you're looking for something related to the internet and development then you're at the right place.
I specialize in graphics design as well as web programming allowing me to complete both the front end and back end of your business solution. I mostly complete my projects using the standard MYSQL, PHP, and CSS. I am able to do projects in Java, C++, C# or VB.NET if it ties in with a PHP based web project, however a majority of my accomplishments are done in PHP.
As websites nowadays become more flashy and interactive, it's important that your site remain on the cusp of innovation and trendiness. That's why I also specialize in implementing AJAX into any online project. Due to the fact that javascript has caught up to Flash in being able to accomplish higher forms of website animation, I've waned production on the bulkier Flash websites and instead use javascript, specifically jQuery, to imitate those common effects.
My main puropse in web development is to be a one-stop hire for developing your web solution in its entirety. With 7+ years in the field of design and development, completing your web solution within your deadline is my business. As well, by developing clean and recyclable code I remain a green business.
ABOUT
My name is Darrell Capeding and live in Gainesville, Fl. I currently attend the University of Florida having taken Java, C++, C#, and VB.NET courses there, and am at this moment learning Arabic, Portugese, and French. Now let me talk about what you'd really like to know...
I first started working with websites when I was in 8th grade playing around with Microsoft FrontPage (oh how naive I was!). During high school I began messing around with Flash skirting around ActionScript 2.0 but soon gave it up for the more accessible and popular HTML/CSS medium. By the time I left high school, I had garnered an impressive amount of knowledge in the field of web development. I found web design jobs around town such as an online t-shirt company, an internet solutions business, as an I.T. guy for a travel agency, and now freelancer.
Over the years working for various entities and completing assorted projects, I've become more proficient at using PHP. Countless sleepless nights have taught me how to write clean and reusable code. Sweating over multiple deadlines has taught me to make that code optimized and efficient. And spending days in front of the computer screen nonstop has taught me to stop ordering pizza late at night and to go out and get exercise.
As for any frameworks that I use, I only use frameworks for javascript. Specifically, jQuery and Prototype/Scriptaculous. When it comes to frameworks for PHP, I tend to not use them (rarely will I use CodeIgniter). I believe that frameworks, while allowing you to write code at a somewhat faster rate, tends to bloat your project with unnecessary baggage. The best kind of library is one which is custom written for your specific needs which keeps your code small and simple. The same goes for CSS framworks.
Just to get it out there (because it always gets asked), I have no experience in styling Myspace pages. I'm sure it's easy but it's not a route I travel. I do however have history with working alongside Wordpress and have made numerous templates for the blogging engine.
Despite being trained on the primitive notepad, I now work using the standard Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Illustrator triumvirate. However, I have worked with various other IDEs notably Eclipse.
