The intention for this blog is to provide a forum to exchange information, ideas and expertise about the Java programming language. My goal is to provide a professional environment to share this knowledge and experience with individuals from around the world.
I graduated from Stanislaus State University in Turlock California with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science. I am an Oracle Certified Professional, Java Development Certified Professional, Author, and currently work as a Senior Database Administrator for The DBA Zone, Inc.. My work includes advanced performance tuning, Java programming, capacity planning, database security and physical / logical database design in a UNIX, Linux and Windows NT environment.
My other interests include mathematical encryption theory, programming language processors (compilers and interpreters) in Java and C, LDAP, writing web-based database administration tools, and of course Linux.
