Welcome

Approaching Software Projects
I worked as a software developer for twenty-five years. I distilled what is required for software project success into this document. It doesn’t say what you must do for success, but rather the pros and cons of missing particular steps and/or asking certain questions. A business is rarely willing or able to follow every step, so at least it will be aware of the risks of missing a step, or the rewards of following it. It’s my small way of giving back to an industry that supported me.  
 
Online Marketplace/Store Site
Where I show I can set up a FULL e-marketplace solution from scratch on a linux server running on a pretty low-power unmanaged VPS. It actually works so you can use it yourself to buy and sell. This runs on a USD$9/month server. That’s the ongoing cost. I can set you one up like this for a USD$200 or so donation.

I’m using A2 Hosting for pcblues.com and the above site - I’ve had good service and reliability for years  
 
Controlling a Lego tank with VR Goggles
Where I show I can control a Lego Mindstorms robot by writing a custom VR app that streams video from an old Winphone strapped to the robot.  
 
COVID Data Visualisation
Where I show you a demo of using Excel to mash-up open data of COVID infections, postcode to suburb mapping, and geographic mapping.
   
Software Development Resume
Where you can find short-form and long-form versions of my resume for professional software development experience.
 
 
Paypal Donation
Where you can make a donation to me if you think spending money on things you like or find useful makes more of those things manifest in your own world (answer: it does)
