Welcome to my Web Page at Shoreline

Here I am back to school again! For Winter Quarter, 2000 I'll be teaching two classes at Shoreline, each of which has its own web site.

If you need to reach me, check out my contact info.

About Me

I originally majored in French literature and worked as a teacher and then as an employment and training specialist. I first encountered computers while taking business courses at Seattle University in the early 70s. Since then, I've worked in a variety of roles in what we now call the Information Technology field. Most recently, I have been on my own as a consultant and contract developer. If you want more info about my professional background, you can look at my Poole Consulting website.

Both of the classes I'm teaching cover a lot of material that is very relevant in today's jobs. Each week, to help keep things focused, I give a short talk that relates what we are studying to the world of work. Students taking these classes will need to keep up with readings and homework assignments and take good notes. Exams will cover material from the text, outside readings and research as well as lectures. You can check out what's specifically required in either the Windows Class or the C++ Class by looking at the syllabus or frequently asked  questions on this web site.
