My Services

  Microsoft Visual Basic / SQL Server

  I have been using Microsoft Visual Basic constantly since version 1 in 1991, through to the latest incarnation found in Visual Studio 2010. I am experienced with writing Windows applications, Windows services, middle-tier components, website applications and web services. I have previously passed the MCP exams in VB 4, 5 and 6 but am now an ardent fan of the .NET Framework.

  I have been using SQL Server from version 4.2 in 1993 through to the current SQL Server 2008, and am experienced both with the implementation and administration aspects, as well as database design and Transact-SQL.

  Website Development

  I have been designing and developing websites for people and companies since 2001. My main tools for doing this are Dreamweaver, Microsoft Visual Studio (asp.net), and Fireworks. My largest current website contains over 180 pages including individual product pages,  a shopping checkout cart, and a password-protected customer area containing software downloads and articles.
