As a teenager, I coded my first few web sites while attending courses on web development, during the last few years of the 90’s. Unfortunately I don’t have any documentation, other than the course grades. But I still want to use this space to remember and celebrate that humble beginning of my path as a digital creative and software developer.

I wrote HTML and CSS, made design elements in Photoshop, and also used Macromedia Dreamweaver and Flash. I even used Adobe Go Live for a short period. I thought at the time it was a rather tedious and slow process, but still worth it as it was a dizzying realization that a person on the other side of the planet could see my work in an instant, just after uploading the files via FTP. Good times!

I continued making various artist portfolios for me and others, until 2005 when i started joeldittrich.se. Since then I’ve developed sites many for clients and collaborators, and in relation to various projects.
