Hi, I'm Nicco
|
|
|
|
I've been doing programming things and "You do computer science right? Can you fix my printer?" for a while now.
|
|
My home is mainly the web, but I wander down many paths of computer science, wherever Ecosia and curiosity bring me that day.

## History
|
|
|
|
It all started when I turned the Google website pink with the dev tools in IE7 and thought I hacked google only to reload the website and discover that (of course) it was only local.
|
|
|
|
That got me onto HTML & CSS and super vanilla JS.
|
|
Then of course came PHP it all it's glory which was the revelation for me.
|
|
I could write servers! OMG! Wait.. where to save that data?
|
|
"MySQL joined the chat" and along came some shady phpMyAdmin interfaces where we designed some databases and wrote SQL queries in plain strings always reminding ourselves to sanitise everything.
|
|
Remember kids: before our friendly Docker whale was a thing and we all installed XAMPP on our local machines with the (i believe still today) in beta Sublime Text 3. Good stuff.
|
|
|
|
The rest... well I have a bad memory 🐘
