G'Day mate from Perth, Australia

G'Day All, Well I suppose I should say "howsit" as technically I am a South African living in Australia. I am father of two beautiful kids (See profile pic) and husband to the most amazing woman. I have interests in most sports and partake in triathlons up to Half Ironman distance. I am in the logistics business but also own a distribution rights for Australia of a sports drink made in SA. Starting out I had to make my way through making a website ( http://www.32gi.com.au ) and after getting some outrageous quotes to make an app for our product, I decided to try learn how to do it myself. Luckily I signed up for a reduced online course which actually used Buzztouch to teach us, the rest is they say is history� Since then I have been eagerly watching the forum, waiting for new plugins and refreshing my podcast app on my phone in anticipation of the Buzzcast. I am thrilled to have found buzztouch and excited to learn and develop my skills with this community. I have virtually zero coding experience, as my father used to say �You know enough to break things, but not enough to fix them� which is very accurate to describe skill level to date. But I am learning heaps everyday courtesy of all those more experienced that are sharing their knowledge on the BT Forums. So at the moment I can �BuzzCode� the basics but keen on learning more and more. Lastly I can�t say enough THANK YOU�s to David and the whole team at BT team and forum members for being so accessible to all of us. LOVE YOUR WORK !! See you on the forum and the webcasts !!

Comment of the day my good man! Probably just cost me a good mate on here though. I'm in US but Scottish born.

Welcome, @Kaybee! You kids are indeed adorable. I am super impressed by how many people in these forums mention their wonder kids and spouses. It shows to me that we're more than just gear heads here! Looking forward to seeing what sort of apps you come up with! Don't hesitate to post with any questions you have! Mark

"Exercise never tasted so good" - Love it! I might add that I have helped a ga-jillion folks try to figure this stuff out. Today's session with you, online, in a neat little Google Hangout impressed the heck out of me. For a guy that's never programmed...you're either ridiculously smart, a plain-jain liar, or non-human. You picked up my ramblings and speed talk better than I could have imagined. Get that darned Triathlon thing done and let the gang know when we can check it out, I'm sure they will like it. Awesome!

Haha david you too kind, the student can only be as good as the teacher ;) The proof will be doing it solo with out you helping me. Working on the triathlon plugin.... thinking I will make it a stand alone app for the market and also a free plugin for BT. Lets hope it is as good as my imagination...
