The Developer - The Photographer - The Boy 

Welcome to my site. I'm Su, coding enthusiast, business developer and photographer. I currently specialize in web and mobile development - mostly PHP for web and Android for mobile. I love working with start-ups and helping them strategize and grow into flourishing, profit-making businesses.

For full details of my skills and the services I provide, check out the about page, or send me a message and ask me if I can help you. If I am not in a position to do so, I can probably point you in the right direction.

If you've been here before, you'll notice a few changes. Worry not, it's still business as usual, but business will be moving to it's new home at www.bandumedia.com.

Tutorials will still be posted on this site, as well as the usual book reviews and trivial blog posts you've all come to love, in the blog section, and you can still see some of my work on here.

Content is still being updated and migrated so if you don't see something up just yet, check again soon.

MVC Frameworks: The Truth

The creators of CodeIgniter, Symfony, Zend, $yourFavoriteMvcFramework all have at least one thing in common. They are all vain. This is twice now in as many posts that I am making bold statements against computing juggernauts. This time, however, it is more in admiration than condemnation.
