Highly skilled programmer/tutor/trainer/mentor - 40+ years experience

I am a professional software developer providing teaching, training and mentoring in programming in corporate, academic and one-to-one contexts. I took my first steps in programming in 1981, have been a professional programmer since 1987, and have been in teaching and training since 1992. I was a lecturer at Roehampton University in London, UK, in the late 1990s, where I taught basic and advanced programming, computer architectures and operating-system theory. 98% of my clients rate my effectiveness as a tutor very highly indeed.

Along with my teaching work, I develop sophisticated software and web-sites for my clients, and have been published several times in respected publications such as Dr Dobbs Journal of Programming, Application Development Advisor, Visual Systems Journal and Computing. I am a BBC 'preferred supplier', a Professional Life-Member of the Association for Computing Machinery (the world’s largest and oldest scientific and educational computing society), and I published a book in 2016 explaining the processes and technicalities that lie behind the publication of e-books (i.e. for Amazon's Kindle product).

I cover a wide range of languages to expert level, including (in no particular order): JavaScript, PHP, Python, SQL, HTML/CSS, VB, C/C++ and assembly language. I also cover, to very great depth indeed, the principles and practice of software design, implementation and development (known popularly as Object Orientation and Software Engineering), along with web-site design and implementation.
