PHP

PHP is well-tuned for delivering high performance web applications quickly. I built add-ons to WordPress and Joomla, as well as building custom lead generation web applications. Both functional and object-oriented coding styles are supported.
Python

Python offers a clean, object-oriented scripting language with wide-adoption and excellent web application frameworks, like Django, and game programming libraries like pygame. I used Python to implement web services and cross-platform games.
Perl

I have been developing professional Perl applications for over a decade as well as writting about it for nearly as long. I have taught introductory programming course using Perl at Northeastern University. Whether you need mod_perl handlers, Mason/Template Toolkit front end code, or simple command line data management tools, I deliver Perl solutions.
