XHTML, CSS

XHTML is an extension to regular HTML (Hypertext Markup Language). It is structured like XML offers special opportunities with regard to web services. It also has to follow the standards of the W3C consortium in order to be valid.
CSS defines the graphical appearance of the website independent to the logical structure of the website. Google can parse the page more easily and gives it a higher ranking.
A big challenge is to make is look the same in all browsers. This is called cross-browser. By default I test in following browsers: Internet Explorer 7, 6, 5.5, 5.01, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Safari.

PHP and MYSQL, Javascript, XML, RSS

PHP and Mysql is a strong and widely used server model for database content and user server interaction.
Everything that makes a website more dynamic: Javascript allows more complex user interaction. AJAX is the new keyword. It allows fast interaction with the server. Web services work with XML and allow retrieving content from external websites.
Rich Site Summaries RSS gives you the opportunity to sum up your website in one XML file and have the user store it in his favourites.

3D Max, Photoshop, Flash & Co

Coming from a graphic design training I attach great importance to appealing graphical appearance. Adobe Photoshop is my main program, occasionally taking help from Adobe Illustrator, Macromedia Fireworks and Macromedia Freehand.
I also have good knowledge in 3D Modelling and Animation with Autodesk 3D Max. I gained the fundamental knowledge with a 3D Animation and Special Effects subject at University.
I have specialized in Macromedia Flash MX, I created movies, complex user interaction, also CGI and database applications.

Java, C#, C++

Java, C# and C++ are high level programming languages that are object-oriented. Object oriented programming.
Java can create applets and servlets that are relevant for web programming.
C# and C++ can also be used on the server to achiever higher and faster performance. During my Bachelor of Computing course I learned to use these languages.
