I earned my Computer Science degree in 1971 and have participated in the software industry from its earliest days. I have been part of its evolution from an obscure, little-understood group of entrepreneurs in the 1970's to the giant force it is today. Through it all, I too have evolved with the changing technology -- from the days of machine language programming to today's fully interactive Web 2.0.I develop the "back end" portions of web sites using the PHP language, MySQL database and AJAX technology.
