I was the back-end designer and primary developer on the project. The site works around extracting XML from the database and generating the web pages from that with XSL - developing a flexible VB middle-layer to co-ordinate the Web Server (IIS/ASP), XML, XSL, and MSSQL2K database - Crystal Reports were ported to equivalent SQL queries and XHTML. Replication was set up to fetch the data from many disparate MSSQL databases. The project started with developing a 3-tier prototype site with ASP/VB COM+/MSSQL 7 - and using the web interface for pre-prepared Seagate Crystal Reports. This was used to sell the idea to ARDEX's clients and the project was restarted - writing a functional specification, project plans and data specifications, then implementing accordingly. http://www.RacingNSW.com.au/ available under 'Clubs' at This web site was developed over the framework created for the eRacing project. It was designed so that content for individual clubs or tracks could easily be added to the site. From page designs and a requirements description I wrote a functional specification for the site, implemented it, and deployed it. private This was a 2-tier VB/SQL accommodation booking system. I designed and implemented the entire solution according to the customer's requirements, including the MSSQL DB Structure and Stored Procedures (using MSSQLs 6.5, 7, and 2000 at different stages), with ASP generating the HTML. I later developed a Visual Basic routine to send out monthly emails to the members. The site has been running perfectly for two years with almost no maintenance. The customer specified they were too busy to spend much time on the web site, but wanted something they could easily add to or alter without learning HTML. I designed a solution and implemented it from scratch - again running off ASP scripts, but pulling content out of plain text files according to navigation information contained in an Access database (it generated and moved around hierarchical menus on the fly). The ASP converted the text file to HTML, adding carriage returns and bullet-points according to simple rules. This allowed them to easily and quickly maintain and expand their site. With ARDEX I also gained some experience at VB Desktop Application development. I adapted our desktop application to run with a much larger data-set than most of our clients use for a demo, by adding searches on some of the grids. I added a data-source configuration layout for another of our applications. Experience was also gained with Crystal Reports and WISE installs.

I was briefed to develop a working shopping mall from scratch to sell potentially anything. I had complete freedom over look and feel, database structure, and implementation (beyond using Microsoft tools). I left them to go on holiday to Australia with a fully working SQL/ASP solution (including credit card payments), and an easy-to-use subsite and product management section.

I worked on the public web site as well as on the intranet and support site. This involved rolling out the new look web site, managing several standard page layouts over hundreds of separate pages, many generated on the fly from databases or text files, and creating several new product sites (many with dynamic content) from scratch. Comprehensive Perl skills were acquired during this time.

They provide complete solutions for schools - in 1998 this was based on NT servers and Win95 workstations - and I was installing the servers and setting up all the workstations and distributed software with RM's own central software manager. For example in Luton we had three NT servers, one backup server, and about 400 stations running Win95 with RM's proprietary security on-top - and upwards of 20 applications which needed distribution.
