About me

My developer pseudonym is MrStickyPiston, based on the minecraft Sticky Piston block. In minecraft you can do a lot of interesting things using the Sticky Piston, just like i can do a lot of interesting things using my coding and artistic skills.

Skills, programming languages and frameworks

At a very young age i started programming with scratch, a visual programming language. Later switched to python, as it allowed much more control over the cose and was actually usefull for making apps/websites. Today i still use python, because it is fast to write and fast enough for most applications, but i also learned new languages. Because I already knew the basics of programming and logic I was able to quickly master them. Learning those new languages gave me new opportunities to use my coding skills practically. JavaScript/ Typescript for example is used in almost every website. This site is also written in TypeScript. The home page animation would not be possible without it. But apart from just the language, the used framework is also important. A framework reduces the time it takes to do the basic things so I can actually focus on the more complicated code. This site uses the Angular framework, allowing the site to be split in smaller chunks and build modulair.

Theory and practice

To become and stay an good software engineer or designer it is required to know the theory, but it is at least as important to have some experience in practical real-world projects.
