Having started programming at the age of 7 with BBC BASIC and HTML, I have built up quite a repertoire of languages I understand and can use, including PHP, MySQL, C/C++, Python, Java, JavaScript and TCL to name a few.

Currently in the last phases of English 6^thForm College and about to start University, I have constantly expanded on my passion for Computing throughout the last 10, nearly 11 years.

Since purchasing the domain richardmant.com back in 2006, I have used it to learn and expand on my understanding of PHP/MySQL and the site has seen numerous revisions. Now I wish to make it a showcase of some of my work as well as a showcase for how I can use my knowledge in web-design and development - you might have noticed the URIs not having any file extensions.

Over the next few years as I go through Uni, I may even publish papers and other pieces of work that are no longer just hobby pieces.

My thanks goes to TSO Host for their excellent service and server packages - Without them, my site would be back in the dark ages as my last host was bought out and effectively shut down; and to Adam Haskell for the great time we had learning to program those RISC OS Desktops
