I am a programmer by training (Johns Hopkins). Starting in 1973 I spent ten years building minicomputer-based, real-time, transaction processing systems as well as supervising the development tools team (compilers, linkers, editors, debuggers). I've been an independent developer and consultant since 1995 but I've been doing side consulting since 1979. In the '80s I wrote the IBM PC column for Creative Computing, followed by six years as the editor of PC Tech Journal. I continued writing into the late '90s. Today I build custom, dynamic sites for very small businesses and independent professionals using contemporary Web technologies, basing them on my own content management system written in PHP.
