Currently:
I am currently self-employed and studying Client-side scripting languages(VBScript , Jscript) and Server-side languages (ASP), while designing an inter-and intranet website for a webtraining and design company called Geckoweb which is, as of yet, still in development. I am also studying towards my MCDBA.
Interests:
I am interested in starting my own company, which will facilitate webdesign and programming as well as the training thereof. I do believe that Webdevelopment will soon exceed the MCSE in popularity.
Background:
I have worked on television documentaries most of my adult life. After some time overseas I became interested in computers. On my return, I completed a graphic design course. In 1999 I completed my MCSE and MCT and have since decided, due to the overabundance of MCSE's, to change track to incorporate webprogramming and design, with the long-term goal of focussing on e-Commerce sollutions for small companies. I still enjoy training and value it as a career.
Expectations:
I'd like to work for a company that would value my input, both technically and creatively .The position should preferably be in line with my interests (webdevelopment or training). A combination of both would be perfect.
