Since graduating in Computer Science from the University of Leeds in 1999, Rob has been programming commercially and academically in a variety of programming languages, with over 10 years of PHP experience.

Having had a varied career working in industries from coffee to condoms, as well as doing freelance software development, Rob is now a “Database Programmer” at the University of Oxford working in healthcare related data analysis. He uses PHP almost exclusively now, out of choice.

When he's not working or writing books, he spends time with his wife, three young children, and most importantly his cat.
