20+ years experience in web and database creation. Microsoft and AWS certified trainer

I have been teaching in Microsoft and AWS technologies in some form or another for over 20 years. Even with all that behind me, I remember fondly the discovery of new knowledge and how it feels so good when the pieces come together. I like to meet students where they are and build on existing knowledge. I require my students to be in "help themselves" mode-- Rather than simply giving an answer, it's important to know *why* a particular way of doing things is correct, so that it becomes a building block that you can use in a repeatable way to make your coding life easier! Areas of concentration include * Front-end web development with HMTL, CSS, and JavaScript (including jQuery, Bootstrap and others) * Database design and development including SQL Server, Oracle, popular NoSQL formats and other * C# and VB development * Microsoft ASP.NET MVC * AWS admin and development * MS Office programmability * Microsoft Azure cloud admin and development
