Young and Stupid

I started programming at the age of 14. Back then i was struggling with PHP. I wanted to learn programming because i was a big fan of the website feedex.dk, and i wanted to make a website exactly like it.

When i learnt the basics of PHP, i started on my website, s8dev.tk which later got changed to s8dev.org. My HTML & CSS skills were poor (mostly just copy-paste), and i didn't know much MySQL, but i got the hang of PHP. My first version of s8dev was badly written, the design was poor, the login was vulnerable to SQLInjection and all user information besides the username/password, was stored in files/folders available for everyone to read. 2 years later and it became the most used website for playing Storm8 games, peaking at 14468 unique visitors per month and 3.1 mil hits per month.

Sad ending - Beggining of a new story

Eventually the creators of the Storm8 games stopped supporting their apps and took the servers down, and so did i...
Now i am currently studying at DTU (Technical University of Denmark).
