BASIC programming language

You are here:

I taught myself to program in BASIC on the ZX81 and Commodore 64 home computers. Since then I have programmed in various versions of the language including Microsoft QuickBasic, VB6, VBA and Vb.Net

My first proper programming job was with Format Tripos Ltd using Microsoft Basic on various early PC type computers.

When I moved to Polymer Laboratories we used Microsoft QuickBasic

If you are wanting any programming work doing, either debugging and fixing old systems or developing new software, please do get in touch.

Microsoft QuickBasic

I programmed using QuickBasic whilst working for Polymer Laboratories Ltd. developing software for controlling scientific instruments and analysing the data produced.

Microsoft Visual Basic

I first worked with Visual Basic on a project for Transco with Keane. This was probably VB5. I later worked extensively with VB6 at Triton Technology and Lacerta Technology.

VBA is a version of Visual Basic embedded in Microsoft's Office suite of programs. I have worked mainly with VBA in Excel.

Visual Basic .Net

When Triton Technology developed the new identiPol QA instrument we took the opportunity to move to the latest software development environment for Microsoft Windows which was .NET. As we already had a lot of software written in VB6 I decided to implement the new software in Vb.Net.

My first proper job as a computer programmer was for Format Tripos Ltd. who produced software for animal feed manufacturers. I worked there from 1986 to 1988.

Polymer Laboratories Ltd

I worked for Polymer Laboratories in Loughborough from around 1988 to 1995. Initially as a computer programmer and latterly as software manager in charge of the department.

Microsoft QuickBasic

I programmed using QuickBasic whilst working for Polymer Laboratories Ltd. developing software for controlling scientific instruments and analysing the data produced.
