Chris’ Musings

I have been meaning to start writing down some thoughts for a while. Since I have had to delve into WordPress for one of my clients and write some widgets (more on that later), I have decided to start!

About me real quick, I graduate from Indiana University in 1994 with a double major in Finanace and Computer Information Systems and a minor in Economics. I almost had my minor in Computer Science but decided I didn’t want to take the required Assembly Language classes – as far as exciting cs courses go I had my fill with cobol. I went to work for Deloitte & Touche Consulting (they are now just Deloitte) after graduation in their System Implementation Group.

I worked for Deloitte for 8 years working my way through the ranks to where I was managing large system implementations. I loved the work and the people; but 100% travel and a social life do not co-exist very nicely. So I started doing my own thing. I started off with a small project building a web application using Struts and built my way up to managing the development of large web applications. In that time I also got married and now have two children.

I have spent the last 8 years building web applications. First with struts, then JSF/Seam and now I am working with GWT (Google Web Toolkit). I have had a lot of fun building applications and this is what I will be blogging about. As I learn new things, I want a place to write down what I learned so I can refer to my notes later.

If you are reading this, Great! I hope my journey can help you.
