Obviously from the URL I work in SEO – at Summit Media, working with Head of SEO Phill Midwinter.
Recently I’ve been heading a lot more towards development at work rather than general link building – although obviously I do still link build, create strategies, deal with ad-hoc requests, etc.
Anyway, back on track – the point that I was writing this for was just an update on what I’m now starting to learn, get more involved with and starting to like more and more 
I’ve always been interested in coding and anything really mathmatical based, even from a very early stage in life before I started thinking about work; then when I started work I initially went into Engineering, very mathmatically based!
I think this has what has made me like coding so much, with the research that is required, the logical steps that need to be taken and the problem solving (not to mention the sense of accomplishment when a project is completed).
The languages I knew previously, before really starting development, was just HTML and CSS with a small amount of PHP that I was starting to get the hang of.
I first jumped into Python, on request of @PhillMidwinter, and he worked with me to help me start developing tools to automate current tasks we are doing and speed things up a lot (I think we ended up saving about 2hours per job, for a 3 day project)
I then jumped into ASP.Net and C# for a client/twitter based project that I can’t really go into much detail to at the moment, but I really enjoyed this, especially since it has actually involved in creating backend user interfaces as well as all the coding and then the frontend of the website itself, it has made it a really fun project and been able to see it from start to completion (well almost completion anyway)!!
I’ve been speaking to my mangers at work in one of my reviews and I have basically been told that I might be given the chance to specialise in development of tools/etc. for the SEO team at Summit Media soooooooooo… my next plan of action is to try and do some research and learn some more about development and specialisations within development, then make a list of what other languages I want to learn (JavaScript really being on the top of this list because I think I should already know that)
We’ll see how things go from there but I’m liking the new direction my job ‘might’ take – not that I’m not happy with how it is at the moment, I love my job and the varying tasks and clients I get to work with, but I think this new direction will suit me and the way my mind works
The conversation gets addictive. Blogging friendships and the dialogue are very rewarding and inspiring. I’ve learned so much from the folks I talk to through the comment boxes that I use.
