Interested in Writing Code?
I've spent a lot of time teaching myself HTML, DHTML, XHTML, XML, JavaScript, JScript, Java, MacroMedia Flash and other coding languages that make up the bulk of what you see on the Internet. If you're interested in learning to hack-out this type of code, I can help with that too. I can even help you a bit with VBS and C++. (Just don't become my competition!)
