Most of my education has been informal, through reading and hands-on training or together through the implementation of real life functional systems.
Regularly performed self-study courses and reading in areas like: Business Principles, Economics, Business Administration, Supervision (both for development personnel and clerk personnel), Retailing, Marketing, Advertising and Promotion (all computers related), Project Management, Accounting, and much specific to Information Technology.
Have done much computer Hardware related studies, including General Electronics, Computer Design and Digital Systems. In software, study on computer languages and software development. Did some Assembly programming on Intel I-8080 and Zilog Z-80 based microcomputers, and Basic and Pascal--CP/M programming. Became familiar with common microcomputer based “database programming” with Access, DBase and FoxPro. Have also become proficient with standard PC utility software like; Word Processors, Spreadsheets, Communications and others tools. I have been very active with various other Software Development Tools that include: CASE (Easy Case), Fuzzy Logic, 4GL languages--PowerBuilder and InfoMaker, GIS systems (Maptitude), and various SQL variants.
