Introduction

I've programmed systems internals, designed database applications, developed business intelligence software, and set up corporate websites for multiple clients and employers for nearly 20 years. In this blog I want to share with you the expertise I've amassed--everything relevant to a well-rounded Information Technology specialist:

• tips on several types of computers and hardware peripherals
• the in-roads I've made into software development on various platforms
• some complex software engineering tricks
• simple desktop application software solutions to common problems
• freeware/shareware and retail product software reviews
• some business analysis and technical writing helps in support of the Software Development Life-Cycle
• computer networking and router setup assistance
• my supervisory experience with both onsite and telecommuting programmers
• the management of testers and Quality Assurance personnel
• and even my aesthetic and practical suggestions on how to write good user, testing, and validation manuals.

Knowing how challenging it is to stay on top of today's ever-advancing Information Technology industry, I hope this blog will help some other beginner or intermediate I.T. specialist make sense of his/her often daunting project responsibilities!
