About
My name is Jesse Terry and I am a PHP web application developer. My wife received a scholarship to attend any university within Arizona so she chose Northern Arizona University in beautiful Flagstaff, Arizona and we relocated here in August 2007. I spend my days as a database support technician for an organization that supports K-12 school districts across the state of Arizona and the rest of my time is split between my wife and our two dogs and various open source projects.
I've been using PHP since 2000 and like many other developers, I used to roll my own framework to assist in the application development process, but I soon found that I was spending more time on the framework than I was on the applicaton development. Then I discovered CodeIgniter and immediately knew that this was *the* framework! Besides the awesome community and support, CodeIgniter provides an extremely lightweight, powerful and structured framework to assist with rapid application development.
