Welcome to Shane Hudson Dot Net

About Shane Hudson Dot Net

Those clever among you may have guessed that this website is run by me, Shane Hudson! So what is it? Well, basically… I was fed up of forgetting where I published articles, so primarily this website is for linking to said articles. Oh yeah, I forgot to say what the articles are about.

Well, I am a freelance front end website developer and general computer geek (no, not nerd.. I do socialise occasionally!!), I enjoy learning and messing about with different things to do with computers. But I have a very bad memory, so I often write articles or snippets just to remind myself of what I had learned or discovered. It seems they also help others, which is always good!

A few people have asked me why I use .net for my website instead of the .co.uk that I also (now) own. The main reason is because when I first started out, I was targetting the world, rather than staying local. Also, I think that Dot Net fits pretty well since I am a web developer and the web is on the InterNET :) see, my logic does make sense ocassionally.

Who Is Shane Hudson?

Me! I am a website developer from Chichester (West Sussex, England) but am currently studying Computer Science with Artifical Intelligence at the University of Kent. Previously, I started a degree in computing aged 11 with the Open University but have not yet completed it as I decided that I need the social and independant experiences to make sure I am well rounded, sociable et cetera.

I am interested in making the web sustainable (which currently I do not believe it is) as well as semantic so that anybody can use a website no matter what browser, system or even screen reader they use. Of course, that does come with compromises for browsers that are graphical (unlike, for example, Lynx) but are not up to modern day standards such as Internet Explorer. If you are interested in this kind of stuff, you will definitely want to be sticking around!

If you are interested in stalking me, I can be found on multiple parts of the Internet. My username is usually ShaneHudson, I don’t have any aliases or nicknames! Places that I frequent include Twitter, Google Plus, Forrst and Dream In Code. I can also be found around IRC, so let me know if you know of any good channels!

Credit To The Designers

I am a front end website developer, that means I take the designs from the designer and turn them into markup (usually incorporating or creating the backend too, unless it is a larger site that has other people working on the backend development).

I am not a designer.

This site (and so many others) would have been white, black and purple (links not bruises!) if not for two very good designers that I recommend completely to anybody, thanks guys!
