About The Shadow Fox Network
The Shadow Fox Network is basically my playground. I try out different things and post tutorials on them. On many other websites, you'll see the same tutorials over and over again on basically the same thing. While tutorials may be rare here, they are always of the highest quality and teach new and advanced techniques in coding.
About This Version
This version has the same backend as the last. The only difference is the layout. What I wanted was something much more aesthetically pleasing. So I went back to the darker layout style that I once had and much better looking and easier to read I think. Plus the voting for the webdesignbook is starting and that would be great if I got in.

A Bit About Me
My name's Ben Hirsch. I'm 16 years old and I live in California. I've been programming on the web for about 5 years, and have loved computers for much longer than that. I'd like to think of myself as a music afficianado. I've played trumpet for around 5 or 6 years, and I just picked up the guitar in November of 2005. I love rock, my favorite bands being Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath and my favorite artist being Jimi Hendrix. I also like jazz (John Coltrane, Harry James, Duke Ellington, Count Basie), psychadelic rock (Pink Floyd, the Yardbirds to an extent), blues (BB King), and even heavy metal (Pantera), or the classical/metal stylings of Yngwie Malmsteen, and of course classical like Bach and Paganini. I hope you enjoy and use my tutorials.

I'd like to spend time there without electronic distractions. Maybe have some kind of lake near me to fish and just spend time out there before I go to college.
