- Amateur programming: Able to design and make basic programs in Qbasic, basic, visual basic, C, C++, HTML and Java. I aim to increase my abilities in this area and learn SQL. Currently revising C/C++. I have only made simple labour saving applets in the past. I have found my Qbasic skills useful when working with some older equipment such as the Perkin Elmer Integral HPLC systems.
