June 2000–August 2000                    Step 1, Inc.                      Overland Park, KS

This summer, I paid for my own education to add PC Client / Server and Web Development to my inventory of skills. Step 1 has a ten-week Fast Track course to teach Visual Basic and Web Mastering tools. In addition to that, I attended two other courses. I used real web sites (which I built, registered names and setup web hosting) for my homework. See My Web Sites page for sites completed or under construction. My education through this summer includes these topics:

§     HTML4 and Markup Languages, including Tables, Frames and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).

§     XML Overview.

§     JavaScript to add a dynamic presentation to web pages.

§     ASP 3.0 (Active Server Pages) with VBScript to support database-driven dynamic web pages.

§     Visual Basic 6.0 Fundamentals, Database, Internet and Advanced ActiveX / Objects programming.

§     Relational Database and SQL - using Oracle and PL/SQL.

§     ADDED COURSE: Creating Web Graphics using Paint Shop Pro v6.02.

§     ADDED COURSE: ColdFusion 4.0 with ColdFusion Server and ColdFusion Studio using CFML (ColdFusion Markup Language).
