How I got into teaching...

When I was working at SGI, I was mentoring a coworker in Perl programming. I discovered I enjoyed explaining it like that, and decided to look into the possibility of teaching it at the college level. When I heard that De Anza College was looking for a Perl teacher, I applied and was accepted.

Bay View Training

If you'd like to learn Perl in just 8 hours, take the Perl 101 class from Bay View Training. Or if you already know the basics and want to become a Perl guru, take Perl 201. I developed the course and teach it once every 1-2 months on a Saturday. All the dynamic content you see on this site was written using Perl, and it's also a great language for Unix system administration, network administration, and even genetics. For more information:

Programming

Posted July 30, 2001 06:15 | Category: Programming | #

I started out programming on Commodore computers when I was 10 years old and my class got a PET. I knew then that I wanted to do it for a living.

I graduated in 1993 with a BA in Computer and Information Sciences from UC Santa Cruz, and immediately started working as a contract system administrator and programmer.

My language of choice these days is Perl, which I use (along with JavaScript) in developing software for clients of my firm, Bay View Consulting Services. Some of the Perl modules I've written are available on the Bay View Consulting web site in the Perl Modules area.

If you are interested in hiring me to work, view my résumé.
