  Administration of the website.

I've been programming for 40 years, in dozens of languages, most recently C++, Java, and PHP.

The contract programming work I like is building small to mid-size interactive websites with back end databases and significant business logic.

My skill is building functionality. I am not a graphic designer (the site you are looking at is evidence of my ineptitude with art). If you don't already have a designer, I recommend Kerndt Design with whom I have collaborated on a few projects.

On the right menu are groups of sites that I've worked on. The new City Club site and the OBGB website are the best examples of my work. Click on any project group to learn more about the sites there, to see examples of my work, and to get references.
