My Message

I code all the features of PrestwoodBoards. Most of the code is in ASP classic to MS SQL 2008 database running on a dedicated server. We do have a number of features for synchronizing data using Delphi 2009 and ASP.Net (both C# and VB.Net). Although I prefer OO languages, I do enjoy coding in legacy languages such as ASP classic and ObjectPAL. After all, good code, is good code.

I also post content here. I'm particularly proud of my To/From Code Guides (14 languages cross referenced and linked to our tech articles, study tests, and message board posts). I invite you to participate too. In particular, I want you to participate in discussion in our message boards and post your original content to our knowledge base. You can also post replies/comments to most of our online content. Your participation is surfaced through your PrestwoodBoards home page. My goal is to keep PrestwoodBoards running and your home page live long after you retire.

If you wish to promote your website, business, service, or products, fill out your Prestwood profile completely to take advantage of our back links to your web presence. To keep the back links live, all you have to do is subscribe to our free Monthly eMag or visit once a quarter. You web presence can include your business and personal websites, and social networks such as FaceBook, MySpace, LinkedIn, Twitter, and UTube.

If you have any feature requests or ideas, please contact me. I'm also available to chat pretty much any time Mon-Fri 9 to 4 PST, call 916-726-5675.
