I have used Javascript heavily in every project I have ever done. At the start, more with DOM manipulation, but more recently I have used it with Node.js to create simple yet powerful and reactive web applications.

I have been following growing Node frameworks and environments, but Meteor was one that particularly caught my eye. I have since proto-typed every project with it, and have become fluent with its usage. I am also continually keeping up with the newest packages and updates, as it is rapidly changing while being developed.

I have used PHP is heavier projects as they leave the prototyping phase. I have used PHP to create entire projects from scratch, and I have also built ontop of plugins such as Laravel.

I have used MySQL is all my heavier project, including those with PHP. I have built entire social networks on them.

I have used jQuery almost as heavily as I have Javascript. All of my Meteor applications use it heavily, and with PHP it is absolutely necessary to modify the DOM.

I have been working with HTML and HTML5 for years, and I have been watching the transition as the web prepares itself for the welcome new features of HTML5.
