WELCOME TO

Falkens Maze Development

Welcome to my website where I share my development journey. It all started in 1996 when I built a basic HTML website for the company that I worked for. Although I briefly left the computer industry, I continued to build websites as a hobby. One day, I wanted to create a login system for a web page without using file-based software, so I searched for alternatives to ASP.Net and found a LAMP book. Using my qBasic knowledge from the 80s, I quickly learned PHP for the server-side scripting and MySQL as the database backend. My first real PHP program was a Jeopardy game for a class project. Over time, I transitioned from building website templates to creating them with CMS's that allowed clients to manage their own content without coding knowledge. After finding WordPress and its community, I made the choice to use this CMS in the long run. I take pleasure in developing plugins and customizing websites to meet my clients' needs. Browse my website to discover code snippets and other resources that have helped me become a better coder.
