| Development |
| |
I am currently specialising on web-related
developments based on the open source (Linux) platform.
Dynamic Web sites (Internet and Intranet) can be developed.
Internet sites can be hosted and maintained on a remotely-located
Cobalt RAQ server (as this site is).
That doesn't preclude other projects
of course, it merely represents a preference. Projects
that exploit existing skills and experience are obviously
more likely to provide good value for money than those
that don't. (Although the difference generally isn't
as great as recruitment agencies think).
