So I don't want to spend a lot of time talking about myself, but I suspect it's important to at least
give some kind of introduction.
I have been working in the software industry as an independent contractor for twenty five years, a
little bit more now.
And I've also been teaching at the university level since nineteen ninety one, which means I do have
a Ph.D. actually I have a Ph.D. in English literature and computer science and in education.
But don't hold that against me.
I teach at the university because I enjoy it and it is certainly not my main source of income.
I have won a bunch of awards regionally, nationally and internationally, including an Apple Award
at one point.
And I've held contracts with KeyBank, with General Motors, with Hewlett-Packard, with Sprint and
many, many others across Canada, the United States and Europe.
And well, and then I can talk about myself endlessly.
But at the end of the day, I've been working in this field for a long time.
I've been teaching for a long time, and I really enjoy teaching.
So let's get to it.
