About Martin Fleming
I am the Senior Web Developer at Provoke Design Ltd, which is based in Cheshire but I work remotely from Southampton. I have been with Provoke Design since 2007 and in that time have built a OO PHP 5 framework using MVC for rapid website development (I didn’t like any existing frameworks). As well as my own framework, I have been required to use (and therefore have experience in) WordPress, MODx and Joomla.
For Web Development I work with XHTML, CSS, XML, PHP 5 (mainly object orientated), MySQL, SQLite, Microformats and JQuery. I have also gained experience in web accessibility and usability.
I also have experience in Linux server installation and management and can work with Red Hat (rpm) and Debian/Ubuntu (deb) based distributions, which most current distro’s are based on. Also I have written several PHP CLI scripts for server maintenance and some simple GUI’s using Zenity. in the future I will be looking at using some proper GUI bindings such as PHP-GTK maybe using the Roadsend Compiler.
I have an intermediate knowledge of Search Engine Optimisation, certainly enough knowledge for being able to create a website with correct semantics. As for design and creativity, I’m afraid that’s not my thing, but I work alongside one of the best designers I have met in this industry.
For the future I hope to get more involved with project management and further development of my coding skills.
