My name is David Pennington and I am a 21 year old Christian Web Designer that finds pleasure in making things that help people. I think that if God was able to give me all that I have - I should be able to give something back.
I was born somewhere you don’t need to know and I now live in a different place. I remember that (back in that place I was born) I first took a class in HTML (2.0?) when I was only 13. A College offered the course online and having nothing to do but play Mario 64 I wanted to try more “computer” type stuff. Needless to say, with only basic HTML tags covered in the course I easily scored a 100% on every lesson. However, I never got the whole FTP/Web Host/Domain thing - so my sites remained on my computer where the bright green and blue colors couldn’t hurt anyone.
Fast forward to my first semester in college where I had almost forgotten what HTML was. I had just started a class in C++ and was hoping to one day make video games. However, as God would have it, I met a geek (a little younger - but better looking) than me named Rick who was just picking up C two. And yes, that last word is spelled right.
Rick opened my eyes to what FTP meant, and how you could actually buy a domain and upload anything you wanted onto it! Like even monkey……..uh…we’ll, that was in the past. So after learning some basics and getting back on the road to HTML I learned that Rick was a PHP programmer. He showed me that I could use PHP to include files so that I didn’t have to re-type the Nav bar on every page! Needless to say, even with my simple 12 page site I was sold.
So here we are today and I now know more than most people my blond, Spanish brother. At least I think I do. I drive a white Buick older than most people reading this a Ford van new truck 72’ truck that I use to haul hay and people (sometimes together). I eat food. I play Soccer and Ultimate Frisbee 3 times a week. I like to try learn new things. I can wave-dash in Melee. I Built all 5-8 PC’s in our house (I don’t know how many we have for sure).
I own the following sites:
- Code2Truth.com
- CodeXplorer.com
- Code2Design.com
- Xeoncross.com (imagine that)
- ChristianCosmos.com
- LearnPHPFree.com (UPDATE: Sold it)
Note: Unlike most people who write about pages - David Pennington doesn’t talk in the third person. Why? Well because he states that it is “freaky sounding”.
I specialize in Object Oriented PHP Design. I build really cool sites that help people to learn things and I make useful web applications that get the job done. I currently work for Corazon Labs building Facebook Applications.
If you need to email me - just remember that my name is David (and this is my site). You can figure it out from there.
David,
May our Lord bless your understanding and use of the many media that He has set before you.
I did not have another email for you, but wanted you to know how much I appreciated the video DVDs that you shared with me. You did a wonderful job on that, and it looks great.
Blessings, Robert
