A Little About Myself
I have been a stay at home mom for the past 14 years and now it is time to get back into the work force to help with college tuition as well as to grow my mind. The WWW Certification programs offered through Austin Community College (ACC) seemed like a good way to learn what WWW designers/programmer do today and to resurrect my skills.
I grew up in Massachusetts and received my Bachelor of Science Degree in Computer Science from The University of Massachusetts/Amherst. I then worked for IBM for 16 years on a variety of computer applications which were on a few different platforms with various software languages. IBM provided vast amounts of training for their employees to become productive in whatever task they were given. For IBM on their Federal Systems Division Projects in Gaithersburg MD, I programmed in the JOVIAL computing language on MVS systems as part of a real-time application. This programming phase included the entire life cycle. From this project I moved into a research and development project that required C programming on AIX platforms to include some XWindows development. About this time I was placed into a more leadership role which included being part of a project management team for a new system being developed on UNIX systems. I moved to Raleigh, NC and worked for IBM in Research Triangle Park(RTP) exercising some of my C programming skills as well as MVS platform skills. IBM started the implementation of SAP for their Personal Computing business about this time so I moved over to this project and learned ABAP and led a team of developers in various tasks within the IBM SAP installation. There was a need to use file transfers within programs that were written on MVS systems and so I and a few others became MQSeries certified.
A new chapter of my life opened when I started having children. I worked for a few years part time and then was able to stop work and focus on the family life.
