I...Read moreI have over 20 years experience of ASP driven web development, Delphi and VBA programming. My Delphi work has been mostly used in the development of ActiveX controls and COM Objects.

    I have been moving more into bespoke programming since 2016 and most of this is VBA running in Excel or Word. My previous experience is ideal here because I can combine the disciplined programming learnt with Delphi with the VB language used by ASP. I have always worked with Windows but I can produce macros that are Mac compatible.

    My skills have a certain amount of overlap, which can be particularly helpful in some situations. For example, my Delphi programming allows me to wrap custom code into a COM object or ActiveX control, which can then be used in another environment, such as an ASP driven website or a VBA macro. I am familiar with the concept of making a Windows API call, either from Delphi or VBA. The support that I have provided to ASP component users has given me experience of debugging code written by other people.

    Area Covered: North Yorkshire
    Work Experience Summary: I have run my own company publishing ASP components and ActiveX controls since 2001. During this time I have also developed ASP and database driven websites. VBA and Excel now form a significant part of my work.
