About David
|
A Maui resident since 1985, I have a degree in Chemistry with a minor in Computer Programming. I’ve been developing web sites and rich interactive applications since it all began, in the early 90's - well over a decade ago now. It is my passion, my joy and my full-time occupation — I bring a wealth of knowledge & experience to the table. Compelling interactive web sites have gone way beyond what HTML alone can deliver. I am accomplished in several programming languages ranging from powerful server-side languages like C#, ASP.NET and XML, to browser languages like JavaScript, AJAX and more. “If you can dream it - I can program it”.
I have expertise with the following technologies:
- Internet Programming Languages allowing for the creation of "intelligent" programmatically driven web sites:
- C#: Pronounced "Sea Sharp", a powerful, high-performance server-side programming language.
- JavaScript: A powerful language that can add intelligence, depth, and a wide array of sophisticated capabilities & interactivity to web sites.
- AJAX shorthand for Asynchronous JavaScript & XML, is a web development technique for creating interactive web applications.
- XML: The eXtensible Markup Language is a modern industry standard data-base language used for data storage and exchange on the Internet.
- JSON: JavaScript Object Notation, is a text-based, human-readable format for representing & transmitting structured data over the internet in a process called serialization.
- VBS: I use this language and/or JavaScript/C# for creating automation software of all types.
- ActionScript: I use this language for writing code that is embedded in flash movies & animations.
- At various times in my life, I have been completely fluent with other languages like Java and even Fortran - now that's going way back in time!
- ASP.NET (Next Generation Active Server Pages). This is a state of the art server-side programming (using C#) allowing for such possibilities as:
- Powerful "back-end" data-base driven content using XML, SQL-Server or Access data storage
- E-mail form processing
- On-line quest books & chat rooms
- User log-ins
- Web Services or automated software systems designed to support interoperable machine-to-machine interaction over the internet. Web services allow for cooperating companies, each having their own distinct web sites, to seamlessly & effortlessly share data among their sites.
- CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), a technology allowing for precise control over the appearance of a web site.
- D-HTML (Dynamic Hyper Text Mark-up Language) or "programmatically driven HTML" providing for rich & highly interactive web sites.
- HTML (Hyper Text Mark-up Language) of course! It is a platform-independent "formatting" language used to create "static" web sites & the backbone of all web sites.
Some of my most popular web applications:
- Check out my slide-show and bundled thumbnail photo presentation software — compatible with all browsers, it is read-ahead optimized for maximum performance and a breeze to update with my built-in photo manager software.
- My Content-Management-Software will have nearly universal appeal to web site owners. It allows you to log-in to any page on your site (with just a web browser) and edit the content! It is both Browser and Platform Independent which means it works just as easily and seamlessly on Mac-Safari as it will on Windows Internet-Explorer - Try the Demo now.
- Do you need an on-line booking calendar for your vacation rental? Then my booking calendar software will surely meet your needs
To ensure that my sites work on all browsers, I use both Windows & Macintosh computers and I am proficient with CorelDRAW & Adobe Photoshop - I created the graphic design for this site in CorelDRAW.
