Welcome to Learning Curve<\/span>.<\/p>\n

My name is Jeff and I’m a WordPress developer.<\/p>\n

I’d say that I’m in the intermediate skill level, but that’s what this blog is all about, my Learning Curve.<\/p>\n

As with most people, I find that I learn best by doing, I’ve been learning on my feet with WordPress, PHP and Javascript for the last two years, and have made good progress with the help of a myriad of online resources available from the great open source community behind this platform.<\/p>\n

This site is both my attempt at returning something to the community, and a learning aid for myself. I find that writing down the things I am learning as I do them, helps me to process and understand them better. If they help other people too, then it’s a win win.<\/p>\n

So, that’s it then, if you enjoy anything here, or spot any mistakes, or want to offer any advice on a better way to do something, please don’t hesitate to reach out at the email below or using the contact form.<\/p>\n
