Mike Williams - Delphi Mike has been using Borland products since Turbo Pascal 3.0 and has used Delphi exclusively since the very early days of Delphi 1.0. He has a Master's degree in Information and Computer Science from the Georgia Institute of Technology and has found that it can be quite educational to help others in the newsgroups. Mike is the senior programmer for Advanced Productivity Software, Inc. Rudy Velthuis - Delphi Rudy is a Dutch dentist, living and working in Germany, with a strong interest for Pascal since he first encountered it. He has been using Borland products since Turbo Pascal 3, and uses it mainly for the speed and the elegance of the language. He is not using Delphi professionally (yet), although he uses the Professional version, but is just a very interested hobbyist. Linda Sherman - C++/C++Builder Lin is an independent consultant who specializes in computer telephony and data communications applications. She wrote her first program in COBOL in the early 1970s for an IBM/360 but soon found out that assembly language programmers have more fun. Lin works mainly in C and C++ these days, but she is also fluent in Object Pascal and Java. When she isn't programming, Lin maintains a website for Welsh language learners. Damon Chandler - C++/C++Builder Damon has been programming for over 15 years now, and enjoys every facet of the art. Mostly self-taught, Damon followed a common path to C++ programming -- GW-BASIC, Pascal, then C++. It was the combination of the VCL and C++ that got him hooked on C++Builder. As an engineer by trade and a programmer at heart, Damon is very pleased to see the two technologies finally merge. Damon is currently working in the Visual Communications Lab at Cornell University where his research primarily centers around wavelet image compression. C++Builder is the tool of choice, and the RAD theme has helped create new interfaces for oftentimes obscure tasks. C++Builder Commonly Asked Questions Edoardo Comar - JBuilder Edoardo is an electrical engineer who likes playing with software... especially if it runs on a VM! He always hopes to write some true, nice piece of software ... so he keeps trying. He's happily married with his wonderful wife Elena. They are both Italians and love their food! They also love travelling and this year Southern Africa truly cast a spell on them. Edoardo & Elena Binh Ly - Delphi Binh is an independent consultant who specializes in developing distributed systems using COM technologies. After years of working with various development tools, he has come to the conclusion that "Borland products make the hard things easy! Period!" When not programming, he enjoys listening to instrumental music, playing a few chords on the acoustic guitar, watching any game that involves a racquet, or shooting some pool while having a few beers. Binh's COM Notes Chad Hower - C++/C++Builder Chad Z. Hower (aka Kudzu - Kudzu@pbe.com) - "Programming is an art form that fights back." Chad is the Senior Manager of Research & Development for Triple Point Technology. In the past Chad has worked for various firms in the employment, security, chemical, wireless and insurance industries. His area of specialty is TCP/IP networking and programming, Interprocess Communication, Weblications, Distributed computing, Internet Protocols, and object oriented programming. In his spare time Chad likes to program, cycle, kayak (flat and whitewater), hike, downhill ski, and drive, and about any outdoor thing. Chad doesn't have any kids named after Delphi, but he does have the Tennessee license plates "Delphi2" and "CPPBldr" on his vehicles. Chad also posts free articles, programs, utilities and other oddities including the widely used Open Source internet components, WinShoes. Chad's Kudzu World Earl Glynn - Delphi Earl was bitten by a computer bug back in the late 60s when 60 KB of memory was a lot of RAM. Earl earned a BS in Nuclear Engineering and an MS in Computer Science. Earl's masters project in '82 involved 2D/3D graphics using UCSD Pascal on a 2-MHz Z80 micro! Earl has worked on a variety of computer projects, often involving graphics, simulation, modeling, mathematics, science or engineering. In the past 10 years, his work has been mostly on medical devices including a cardiac catheterization system and a digital colposcope. Earl's wife still can't tell the difference between his computer work and his computer play. Earl is hoping to make Delphi programmers out of his two children. Nikolaos Giannopoulos - JBuilder Solmar Solutions, Inc. Tor Iver Wilhelmsen - JBuilder Igor Nossov - C++ Igor graduated from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology with a Masters degree in Applied Physics and Mathematics. The scientific community lost Igor when he discovered computers and programming. Igor's journey as a programmer has taken him through Fortran 4, Algol, C, Pascal, and several assemblers. Igor is a senior software engineer for Infinite Technology Corp., developing IDE tools for company's coprocessor. His main hobbies are strategic and role-playing computer games. Mark Cashman - C++Builder Mark Cashman is Director of Software Development for PetroVision, developer of geographic information systems for the bulk products delivery industry. Mr. Cashman has been developing software for over 20 years with a wide variety of languages and development environments, including some of his own design, and has created software for insurance, real estate appraisal, manufacturing, mail order, and many other applications. C++ Builder is his favorite development environment due to its support for abstraction and object-orientation, its extensibility, and the potential it offers for creating new development paradigms. Mark Cashman's Software Development Pages Ken White - Delphi Ken White started programming with GW-BASIC, later moving to dBASE III+, and still later Clipper. Ken has also worked in C/C++, FoxPro, and a bit of ASM. Ken began working with Delphi shortly after the release of version 1. As a learning process, he began writing Delphi functions that were equivalent to those he found so useful in Clipper, and Clipper Functions for Delphi (CFD) was born. Since then, Ken has continued to work with Delphi extensively. In addition to his work with CFD, Ken is the IS director for a large commercial printer and runs a successful consulting firm. Geoff Wass - Visual dBASE Geoff was born and raised in the wide open spaces of Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. After getting a Bacclaureates in Computer Science and Business Administration from the University of Regina, Geoff took a job in Malaysia, and has lived there ever since. Geoss works as Information Systems manage for a leading healthcare consultancy in Kuala Lumpur. Geoff started with dBASE IV in 1991 at the Saskatchewan Department of Finance writing an application that still manages the province's Savings Bonds program. He taught dBASE IV during his job exchange and has continued to program in Visual dBASE 5.6 and 7. Wayne A. King - C++ Wayne King is an independent Senior Consultant in Toronto, Canada. He began programming in 1964, using assembler on IBM 1401 and UNIVAC 1050 mainframes. He worked for several years in the Information Services Division of UNIVAC Canada, as a Programmer and Systems Analyst. Switching to the government sector, he held positions as Systems Analyst, Mainframe Operations Manager, and System Support Manager. He's been a Senior Consultant for the past decade, working on several major projects in the government and financial services sectors in various capacities, including Manager of Technical Services. He is listed in the International Who's Who of Professionals. Stefan Hoffmeister - C++Builder Econos Consulting Services Philippe Ranger - Delphi Philippe Ranger develops in several languages, but prefers Delphi, to which he's been attached since D1. He pleads guilty to having a book published on OO Turbo Pascal in 1990 (in French, in Quebec). Paul Furbacher - JBuilder Spring '77, on the way home from a bar in Ann Arbor, peered into a dark store window at some of the first "personal" computers. Laughed, "No one would ever want one of those." Five years later, back from Africa and Peace Corps, things had changed. First, a fascination with the hardware, next with programming. Then the Ph.D. in biophysics: perhaps an excuse to do lots of programming, connecting instruments to computers, analyzing data, etc. Certainly didn't like grinding up all that spinach. Discovered objects with TP 5.5: "Whoa, I like these. Folks just might want lots of them ... someday." Gary White - Visual dBASE Gary White is a part-time, free-lance application and Web developer who has been using dBASE since dBASE II on a CP/M machine and Borland tools since the days of Turbo Pascal for the same machine. Gary's _real_ job is piloting a helicopter for an air ambulance service; luckily that leaves quite a bit of free time for his part-time work. Gary gets a real kick out of helping people in the Newsgroups because it helps him learn to do things. AppTools.Com |
