Paul Grenier’s Summary

I develop dynamic web applications and customize commercial web products. I have experience programming in PHP, T-SQL, PL/SQL, and JavaScript. I wrote several plugins for jQuery and recently started working with the ExtJS library.

Over the last two years I wrote several articles, developed and delivered workshops, and spoke at two conferences regarding assembly-free solutions in Microsoft SharePoint Server 2007.

I hope to continue developing JSON-RPC style web services and web applications to consume them.
