About Me
editI am currently studying BSc Web Design & Development at University of Hull: Scarborough Campus. I am nearing the end of my degree and hope to continue running my business full time once I've graduated. I am a partner in a web development company called Netsells. Along with my business partner, we had one full time employee in addition to a freelance web developer (Craig Pratt) and a part time accounts management.
Interests
editWhen I am not producing client work or working on my degree I spend time with my girlfriend, watching TV episodes such as Dexter, House, Fringe etc. I also enjoy furthering my knowledge of web development and have attended a few conferences (CIConf 2012) and hack events (Lincoln Hack 2011 & DevXS 2011). I use Code Igniter on a daily basis and it forms the base of pretty much every website I develop, with the addition of HTML, CSS and Javascript. If I ever find the time, I try to post blog posts on my personal blog, which can be found at samjordan.co.uk.
PlusLimit
editEven though I have worked on hundreds of websites, I usually work with at least one other person so I don't have much individual work to show for myself. One project I've worked on is an iPhone application written in Objective-C called PlusLimit. It interacts with an API I've written to log into the user panel of ISP Plusnet and retrieve usage details. So far I've had a reasonable amount of downloads and only 5 star reviews.
Endeavour Radio
editAn additional iPhone application I've written is for the community run radio station, Endeavour_Radio - this collects information from the API and displays it in an easy to read format. It also supports background playing of the radio station. I also created the logo that is currently in use.
Psychology of Internet Behaviour
editI am going to be looking at Online Auctions, So far our group consists of Craig Pratt, Carl Stanyard and Callum Moore. We intend to re-create the Online auction model and remove the old Online_auction_business_model.
