Hi, I'm Shawn. I'm an information systems programmer, so my little web site here is dedicated to anything within that realm. You'll find software I've written, source code for my programs, links to web pages I've developed, diagrams from databases I've written, and some tips & how-to's on programming.

It's my goal that this site will be useful to people looking for software, people looking for help with programming, and people who are interested in my professional endeavors.

As anyone who knows me very well should already be aware, I'm very big on contributing to the community, so everything I develop and post here is free. However, I do request that those who benefit from my work pay it forward. It's the best way to make the world a better place. With that being said, let me tell you more about me.

The majority of my work is done either in C# or Python. I really enjoy the languages and their ease of information manipulation. My technical skills and experience do also include other environments -- here is a mostly-full list:

• Python
• C# .NET
• C/C++ (Native & .NET)
• Visual Basic (Standard & .NET)
• ASP (3.0 & .NET)
• xHTML (including DHTML, CSS, JavaScript, & AJAX)
• XML/XSLT
• Microsoft SQL Server
• MySQL
• Oracle
• WScript (VBScript/JavaScript)
• DOS/NT Batch Scripting
• Visual Basic for Applications in Microsoft Office

Basically, I love to program. I started programming on my Texas Instruments graphing calculator when I was 13, and have been hooked since. I also like to emphasize the creativity in programming -- I view it as both an art and a science, like most things.

Well, I've said enough. I hope that you will find my site of interest and/or use. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or comments for me.

Take it easy!

- Shawn
