Incomplete. COMPUTER LANGUAGES Borland Delphi/Pascal The majority of my experience has been with Borland's line of compilers. My first experience with a compiler was Borland's Turbo Pascal version 3 and I've used every version since, up to and including Delphi version 6 and Kylix v1.0. Delphi has always been my language of choice for Windows development. Kylix now gives me access to my Delphi skills under Linux. C/C++ My experience with C began with Borland's Turbo C in the mid-80's. I started C++ with version 3.0 for DOS in the late 80's. I did very little C/C++ development under Windows as Delphi was my strong suit. C++ became important to me again in 1999 when I started work at Master Merchants to explore my Linux development skills. Java Learned Java using one of the first free Sunsoft compilers. Not really my language of choice but I have developed a number of solutions for clients over the last four years using Borland's J-Builder. I taught a short course on Java during the summer of 1998. Assembler Up until I found Borland Pascal, almost all of my code was assembly. The primary reason being that few people in my area were doing it and I was making a living with it writting for embedded systems (6809, 6502, etc.). XBase DBase III/IV, Foxpro 2.x (DOS/Win16), Clipper Summer '87, Clipper v5.x. Interbase Borland's Interbase versions 4 thru 6. Oracle Oracle v8.1 for Redhat Linux. SUMMARY OF EXPERIENCE Borland Delphi Used Borland's line of pascal products for almost 20 years under MS-DOS, Win16, Win32, and Linux. Manufacturing Experience Developing and maintaining software for a factory has provided me with an end-to-end knowledge of manufacturing systems. Linux Developing and administrating linux for almost 6 years has strengthened my unix skills. RDBMS Experience with developing client/server solutions with SQL since the early 90's.
