Hi I’m Steve and I would like to Welcome to Steve’s Internet Guide.

This Website

Although this website started out as a general networking and Internet technology site it is now focused on helping IOT engineers in building IOT systems using Node-Red and MQTT.

My History

I have a broad technical background with over 17 years in the telecommunications Industry working in various capacities from engineering to management.

I moved from Telecoms to Computer networking in around 1995.

I spent over 10 years training and consulting mainly on networking, Microsoft Exchange and Active Directory.

I have a degree in electronics, and my professional accreditation’s include MCSE, MCT and Novel CNE.

I was also a chartered engineer and MIEE (not renewed) .

I spent the early part of my career programming in both assembly language and C.

In the the early 80 I developed an International telephone traffic monitoring system (hardware and software (8080 assembly language)). This was in commercial use for several years

I also developed several billing systems. one was used for Inter Admin accounting of the telephone traffic and the other for ship to shore radio services.

Both systems were written in C and were in commercial use for several years.

Over the last 10 years I have become familiar with PHP, and have used it mainly on my own sites for modify themes.

I initially focused on Python, and have developed several programs that I use for monitoring my own websites,MQTT demo scripts and MQTT test tools.

However I have moved my focus to node-red and JavaScript as I find it much easier and quicker to create working applications.

Thank you for taking the time to visit this site and I hope you enjoy the rest of the site. If you have any comments then please use the contact form and let me know.

Best Regards Steve

My Other Website Projects

I have several other websites focused on Internet related technologies.

Homes are getting smarter. If you are interested in home automation then you might find my site Steves Smart Home Guide useful.

I originally had lots of node-red tutorials on the site but have moved them to their own site as node-red can be used for lots of non iot related projects. They are now on steves node-red guide

If you would like to build your own website then my building a website with WordPress has helped thousands of beginners over the years.

Website Hosting

If you want to develop your own website and are looking for a hosting provider then I can recommend both Blue Host (USA) and 1and1 UK.

If you are looking to start an online business then I recommend that you take a look at Sitesell. I started my Internet journey with them and then after about 8 years moved to WordPress.

They still offer there own hosting called Solo build it, but have also offer SBI for WordPress.
