Wim Leers’s Summary

- Drupal module development. I prefer clients who agree to publish these modules at http://drupal.org (therefor GPL-licensed), so everybody can benefit. The client benefits from this as well in the long run!

- Solid: jQuery, Java, multi-threaded programming, SQL (MySQL, SQLite, Oracle DB2), XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, testing

Languages:
