I am an older gent trying to earn extra money using the internet. I am happily married now for 33 years. One of my greatest contributions to the world is my four children. I have a lot of programming experience in many different languages. I believe my best work has been done using VBA in Microsoft Excel as I have the most experience using the Excel object model. I am constantly learning these differant languages to keep up with the times, Visual Studio 2010 is the newest (I have written many programs using VB6) As you know web programming is a moving target and i have written my first web app for Oil Well Service using php, MySQL, XHTML, java, CSS, etc... I use lynda.com a lot for learning the Adobe Master Collection CS5. I hope joining WA will get me the training and help I need to use many of my skills to earn money on the internet.
One thing I have learned in life very long ago, you get out of things what you put into them. I can tell in advance I know I create my own destiny.
As you can see from my pic, I have a hole in my throat. Just a FYI, I swallowed a jack when I was 3 years old eating Kellogg rice crispies. It was a prize in the box and Mom poured the ceral and I did what a lot of 3 years old do, open month insert spoon and swallow! That jack was in my throat for 2 weeks before my mother and father realized the kid is NOT eating and is turning colors! Anyhow the doctors surgically removed that jack and sewed me up, I lived a normal life until I was 19, at that time i was managing Denny's and at lunch passed out over my food (unable to breathe) The paramedics third jolt brought me back to life and I was told it was there last attempt, They cut an 'X' in my throat so i could get air and breathe, scar tissue grew from that earlier operation (16 years earlier) to where i could not get air. Since then I have tried many times to get the hole sealed up but I am still waiting for technology to get better.
Anyhow, hope to learn a lot from both the community and WA training materials! as well as make a lot of money!
