Bryan Oakley’s Summary

I have many years of experience writing desktop and web-based applications, mostly for small companies. I have considerable experience in graphical user interface design and implementation. I have a strong interest in software testing and in creating and maintaining software tools (build scripts, etc). My most recent expertise is with Tcl/Tk on windows, but I also have C and C++ experience on various types of unix as well as experience with Java and FORTRAN.

I enjoy sharing my expertise with others. I have, for example, been a regular contributor to the USENET group comp.lang.tcl for over a decade, posting under the email address oakley@bardo.clearlight.com.
