Hello, Team! I'm very greatfull to all of you for your trust and for the acceptance into the community!
I'm really proud of this and here comes my story. Born 1978, Moscow Have never programmed a Commodore in my life, but spent some time with 8-32kb PDP-11-style computer-like appliences, and it was fun :) When I was really starting the most avanced organizations here already had IBM XT around, so -- Borland Pascal 5.5, Turbo C 2.0, Borland C++ 2.0 -- I beleive that almost any computer-crazy kid here has gone this path - Borland products were really popular. Liceum of Information Technologies #1533 (high school) in 1993-1995 was a really great gathering of crazy peoples -- both students and tutotors, I guess it still is :-), then the colledge, web development Tomcat/Cocoon, database development, designing technical requirements for yet-to-built software, again web development -- I guess not really to much to tell about -- coding, coding, again coding -- and sometimes software design :-) First got in touch with java apache products when we were plugging JServ to work with our Apache web servers, then got interested in Cocoon 1, have made a certain amount of development with it, now again trying to apply modular design principles to the sofware that I build. Have a tendency to building meta-tools and reusable components, an affection to elegant software design. Trying to be thourough and even over-thorough in everything I do. Am I a perfectionist? Have been married for 4 months now, youhoo! :-) something I've been dreaming long enough about. I'm located in Moscow, GMT+3, have never heppened to be further then Helsinki or Stockholm from here, but hope I still have a chance to see more! Have had a chance to learn to speak English relatively well - and this has been a huge benefit in the computer sciece world - I really have spent a bit of time learning it at my school age, have attempted to learn a bit of French, and still urge to have a chance to continue that. I like the west, but words like Tokyo, Japan just magnetise my as much as France and Paris do, so I was equally impressed to read both whoweare/leif.xml and McConnel on Paris pubs :) I guess http://www.mavicanet.com is the largest of the things I have built (as one of the leading developers) and it currently can be seen online. (It was my Cache DBMS era, dreadfull impressions on the part of software design we were forced to adopt by this product and from its reliablility, don't advise anybody in sane mind to use it, but the project still works :-) Okay, I guess I have been talking too long about what is can really told about in short words. I think that working with you, as a part of Avalon team, will be a nice addition to this biography, I have been encouraged by your wellcoming attitude and I like the atmosphere here, thank you! :-) - Anton --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
