Ben D.

## BIO I'm a UK based developer with an MEng degree in Software Engineering. I specialise in Blackberry application development, and web development. I have over 6 years of Java and C++ Object-Oriented programming experence. I am an experienced Linux admin, and have used Linux as my main desktop OS for over 7 years now. I am experienced in Bash Shell scripting, awk, sed, perl and my favourite Python. I also have experience with web programming both server and cilent side. My third year project for my degree was a Semantic Web application that visualised weather data based on an RDF-S ontology. The server side code was done in Python which served up XML to an AJAX frontend. During the course of the year long project I developed my Javascript and XML skills, and learnt much about Semantic Web technologies, such as RDF, RDF-Schema, Ontologies, triple stores and also learnt about visualisation. ## Area of Expertise * OO-Design (UML) * Technical Writing (Reports, Specifications, Design Documents) * C/C++ * Java * JavaScript * PHP * DHTML * Scripting (Python, Perl, Bash, Awk, Sed) * MySQL * Linux * Semantic Web * X-Box * P2P
