I have had 25+ years experience in training and product development and 20+ years working with JavaScript. I started learning JavaScript when it was a new language used for minor affects on a web site. The growth and ubiquitous nature of JavaScript both excites and inspires me.I currently work as the President and Lead Trainer at All Things JavaScript, a resource for anyone and everyone that hopes to increase their JavaScript skills and move from novice to expert.I'm doing what I love most: Teaching about technical subjects. It is so important to understand the why, not just the what and how, when it comes to technical subjects. My goal is to help thousands of JavaScript developers to get started and become experts in the field making a great living coding.I was the co-owner and President of Rapid Intake, an eLearning firm. The company was an ideal place for me to apply my training and development skills. While there I managed all development and professional service related activities. I was heavily involved in the initial development of Rapid Intake's main product, an eLearning authoring tool, which eventually lead to Rapid Intake's acquisition in 2011 by Callidus Software.In addition to JavaScript technologies, I have dabbled in other web technologies such as ActionScript, ASP, PHP, HTML, and CSS.
