I learn best by doing; every one of my top skills was acquired either on the job or through independent work.
I had no prior experience with any of the following, at the time I first started using them, except where noted:
- MySQL, PHP, Perl (for independent use)
- Apache (for independent use)
- Linux (as a desktop OS and for web projects)
- Visual Basic 6 (for Carrier Transicold)
- MS Access 97 (for Carrier)
- Transact-SQL (for Carrier)
- C++ (for Duke U.)
- Borland Pascal (for Brown U.; I did take a course in Pascal at Duke in 1977, but it used punch cards and was not really applicable to Turbo/Borland Pascal)
- Fortran IV/77 (for Brown U.; I took one class at Duke circa 1983)
- HTML (for independent use, later used for paid consulting work)
- CSS (for independent use)
