About Me:
I am 18 years old, and a Computer Science student at UC Santa Cruz. I mainly like to program in web design languages – HTML, CSS, Javascript, SQL, and PHP – and have taken two classes in computer science, including one offered by a community college. Another hobby I’m into is making/transcribing music. I was in my school’s orchestra for 5 years and played the cello. I am now in ASB under the technology committee so that I can put my skills to work!
I’ve been programming since 8 or so, but I really began when I received my first Arduino Mega, at age 10. Since then, I’ve expanded my knowledge to learn a number of other languages for many different applications. These include the web design languages listed above, as well as a few others such as Java and C/C++(Arduino).
I attended Sage Creek High School for 4 years, from 2014-2018.
Computer Courses I’ve Taken:
- In late 2015 to early 2016, I took a college-level computer science course on java offered by my school as a night course. I finished the class with a 101.84% and got a 125% on the final.
- Starting late 2016 to early 2017, I took a high school level computer science course (a step back I suppose 😉 and got a 104% in it and a 121% on the final for the first trimester.
About This Site:
This site began as a place for me to experiment with my new found enjoyment for web design in late 2010. I later put it online as joeybabcock.me in September of 2010, this site has endured countless crashes/hacks/downtime due in no small part to my small but ever-increasing knowledge of code. As of right now, it is on its 6th complete redesign and the 3rd server. This site is currently hosted by GoDaddy and uses WordPress for the blog, and a custom theme that I designed for the homepage.
