Ron has 30+ years developing and leading software projects. His background runs the gamut from Lisa/Macintosh development (Objective C, Object Pascal) to Windows development (C#, .NET, VBA, Delphi, Java), from data communications (MQ) to data management (Oracle, SQL, MySQL, JDBC). Most of his efforts were marketing applications for an international audience. His most entertaining project was developing software on an Apple II to analyze the effects of a machine smoking cigarettes.
