About Matt
Matt (Matthew) Didcoe is a freelance website developer, IT support guy and university student based in Perth, Western Australia. So far, he's managed to complete days of his life ( 1 ).
Ruby is Matt's language of choice but he's also spent some time in PHP and dabbled with Python, C and Java (under duress). He's worked with the Rails and Sinatra frameworks and loves HAML, Authlogic and StringEx along with his MacBook Pro running Git, TextMate, Passenger and MySQL.
Mapping and photography are two other areas that interest Matt.
