computer CV
A history of which computers and languages I used over the years. Not complete but contains the stuff which was relevant in one aspect or another ;)
| when | what | notes |
|---|---|---|
| 2016 | Microsoft Lumia 950 | to try out Continuum |
| 2015 | Windows 10 and Windows Phone 10 UWP apps | |
| 2015 | Nokia Lumia 930 | |
| 2014 | Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1 universal apps | development of WinJS universal apps for both in basically HTML, CSS and Javascript is nice indeed |
| 2014 | WebGL | now that almost any platform including IE and iOS almost ;) supports it looked into 3D a bit |
| 2013 |
Windows RT on Surface 2 Windows Phone 8.1 on Nokia Lumia 920 |
upgraded both WinRT and WP8 devices. Am a developer after all ;) Higher resolution on both makes a difference but actually not as much as I thought |
| 2013 | Windows 8.1 | great update, fixes a lot of details. I did like the original Win8 too though |
| 2013 | Windows Phone 8 on Nokia Lumia 720 | very smooth OS on a really great midprice device |
| 2012 | Windows RT on Microsoft Surface | great device and I do like the OS too (despite the hate of a lot of people who probably never tried it for more than 2 minutes) |
| 2012 | Windows 8 Metro Style Apps in Javascript | development of OS apps with Javascript in Windows 8 is a great opportunity for a web developer |
| 2012 | Windows 8 | actually the first Windows I used when it was not even final. I really like it despite or because of the bad press ;) |
| 2011 | nodeJS | I like Javascript anyway and this is nice indeed |
| 2011 | mobile: iOS on iPad/iPhone | job forced mobile iOS web app development on me ;) |
| 2011 | Windows Phone 7 Silverlight Development | looked a bit into C#/XAML mobile Silverlight |
| 2011 | Windows Phone 7 on HTC Trophy | best phone I've ever had (even with NoDo but soon Mango) and I'd rate this much higher than iOS or Android phones which I've seen but would not like to use personally... |
| 2010 | Mobile Web Development | HTML, CSS, Javascript for modern mobile browsers on iOS (and Android) devices and hopefully IE9mobile soon too |
| 2009 | iOS on iPod touch | (guess I don't like Apple stuff/idioms too much but) to try out the touch interface |
| 2009 | Windows 7 |
moved from Vista to Windows 7 which is much better indeed,
WIN+... shortcuts are really nice (I did like Vista too though)
|
| 2009 | Google App Engine | developed a few simple but hopefully useful apps in Python |
| 2009 | Scala (a tiny bit...) | also looked a bit into Scala. Looks nice but for my needs Python (or Jython) seem sufficient. |
| 2008 | Haskell (a tiny bit...) | looked a bit into Haskell, not sure if this goes further |
| 2007- | jQuery | one of the best Javascript libraries, used before but now quite heavily |
| 2007- | Windows Vista | replaced XP with Vista just to be up to date what is happening (and I do like some effects and also SHIFT-rightclick/Copy as Path...) |
| 2007- | Ubuntu Linux | finally installed Ubuntu 7.04 as double boot with Windows XP |
| 2007- | XSLT 2.0/XPath 2.0 | started doing stuff with version 2 which took this long as they was actually no need till now |
| 2006- |
Nokia 6680
Python on Series 60 |
maybe not a real computer but still very interesting to do programming on a phone (Symbian OS) |
| 2006- | Linux | first steps, better later than never |
| 2006- | Actionscript (2) | more Flash programming with more interest this time using open source tools to build complete flash applications |
| 2005- | Schematron | really simple but powerful schema language which I should have looked into much earlier |
| 2005- | AJAX | newest buzz around this time and I finally came around an idea what I could do with it. first app is a Python regular expression test "application" in a webbrowser. |
| 2005- | Weblog (WordPress) | started a new weblog which I update more frequently than my first one and which has more technical topics |
| 2005- | Regular Expressions | never really needed them till now but actually starting to grip the power (using Python) |
| 2005- |
RelaxNG
XForms |
finally used a really useful schema language (compared to DTDs ...) and also worked with some other X... stuff. And XSLT really is useful for lots of stuff ;) |
| 2004 | Weblog (PyDS) | started first blog but never really got into the habit, at least not yet |
| 2003- | Python and Jython | learned and used both at work and at home after being fed up with both ugly PHP, Perl and mighty complex Java which really does not have to be that complex... |
| 2002- |
XML
XSLT/XPath |
starting using XML and also XSLT at work and later for personal projects too |
| 2002- | Windows XP Professional | updated to XP quite early and got rid of home-windows (98/ME) completely |
| 2002 | Actionscript | a bit of Flash programming but never really liked it |
| 2001- | DHTML | CSS and Javascript for dynamic stuff |
| 2000-2002 | Windows 2000 | professional work under Windows including some shell scripting |
| 2000- |
PHP
Java |
started looking in both languages for web programming at work and at home |
| 1999- |
Internet
HTML, CSS, Javascript |
first internet access at home and also first web programming experiences and launch of own website. Almost completely passing and ignoring old HTML3 with table layout madness but instead focussing on CSS layouts. |
| 1998-2000 | Windows 98 / Windows NT | Dual boot to play and work... |
| 1998 | BeOS | short look into a promising OS which sadly did not (really) survive |
| 1996- |
PC
( DOS/Windows 95) |
first home PC, mostly used for doing graphics, home office and a bit of gaming. Bought as gaming replacement for SNES only but main use was actually for college work. Still no home internet yet... |
| 1996- | yahoo.com | first email address, still being used as a spam reservoir ;) |
| 1994-1995 | SNES | started playing again on best console at the time |
| 1993- |
Mac OS 7
Photoshop 3... |
use of various office and drawing programs at college |
| 1987-1991 | Amiga 500 | classic follow up to C-64 at the time. Used less and less over the time - even for gaming - and finally got rid of any computer at home. |
| 1982-1987 |
Apple II
Pascal |
learned to actually program in a "real" language at school |
| 1982-1987 |
Commodore C-64
BASIC, some Logo and a bit C |
first home computer! At the beginning actually doing some BASIC spaghetti coding but later used for gaming only... |
| 1981 | ZX-81 | first "real" computer after pocket calculators, only used at school and friends |
