Bill Sutherland’s Summary
I love to take ideas and turn them into reality. I'm a firm believer in positive thinking, and that your thoughts become things.
I enjoy all things technical and have a strong attention to detail. It's the little things that make a difference, and they are all little things.
I'd rather finish last but run a good race than come in first by cheating. To quote the Beastie Boys... "Slow and low that is my tempo."
Let's think and talk about what we really want, then do the actions necessary to achieve those goals, and prove to the masses that... "Life is Good".
Bill Sutherland’s Specialties:
AJAX, PHP, CSS, XHTML, JavaScript
Website Design & Development (hand coding, Expression Engine, Codeigniter, etc. )
Database Design & Development (FileMaker Pro, MySQL)
