My greetings to all WiseCP users,

My name is Christos (or Chris internationally), born at 27 October 1956 in Thessaloniki, Greece, where I'm still living. Too old to say that I'm a teenager, but on the same time, too young to say that I'm old 🙂

I'm not a professional coder in the meaning of having University certificates. When I finished High School, back to 1974, programming was available only in USA, not even in UK, and being a child of a 5 children family, have no luck even to dream for studies in USA.

So, I'm self-educated and very proud for it. Not only I was able to learn coding by reading books, but also I learned the English language. Not in professional level but, I want to believe, in an understandable level. It was not an easy job. First I had to translate in Greek what I was reading, then to understand it, and finally to test it. But never gave up.

My career start had nothing to do with coding. For 15 years I was employee on Olympic Airways and when I stand-up on my shoes, I resigned from a well paid job to start flying alone. Not an easy decision, especially for my country where, to have a stable (and well paid) job was a dream for most people.

I started coding with dBase III, back to 1984, coding some simple projects for my own use. Next year I moved to Clipper, a database programming language which was able to produce executable (.exe) files, so easily to release them. I worked with Client-Server applications, adding in my portfolio 3 projects for DOS. Then I moved to Topspeed clarion, a similar programming language coding projects for Windows.

By the end of 1999 I left back any plans for new PC applications and started coding Web Applications in PHP. My early PHP projects were simple (a Classifieds script and a News script) but they were working fine. Still have some clients using them 🙂

On October 2006 I started coding AddOns for vBulletin and a year later (2007) modules for WHMCS. During these 10 years I released more than 50 vBulletin Addons and 11 WHMCS modules.

And no, I don't plan to code anything for WiseCP. My health does not allows me to do long plans, and have no time to start a new learning curve. But I really enjoy using WiseCP. Is a modern script, with all the important features in place, build in a nice interface. It has the future ahead.

All the best for all members here, be happy, optimist, and keep yourself safe !!

Chris
