Mat Hopwood

I'm Mat Hopwood from the UK. I've been coding professionally for nearly 20 years. I'm here to promote mine and my companies application / game / web development services and to meet like minded people.

My skill set includes:

C, C++, C#
Java (J2ME, J2SE, JOGL)
Low level assembler languages
2D / 3D game and engine development
Nintendo GBA, DS, Wii
ASP.NET, Silverlight RIA, SQL, HTML, CSS, XML, Facebook API
Unity3D (PC, Web, iPhone)
AirPLay SDK (iPhone, iPad, Android and others)
Windows Phone 7 (WP7)
PHP / Objective C - A litte rusty
Tool development
Project Management

My main development interests at the moment include anything online or mobile related, especially social games / applications. I like playing them and I would like to develop them.

I recently developed Sharetops ( www.sharetops.com ) as a test bed for implementing online social games on a large scale using ASP.NET, Silverlight, WCF and ADO.NET. I've also been playing around with Facebook integration, which turns out to be quite easy (when compared to developing console games)

When I'm not chasing around after my kids or working I like to bodybuild and play my guitar
