Create FTP Accounts via cPa...

In the end, I opted not to use the API for this, but I think it may still help point you in the right direction if you are looking to automate any cPanel tasks. cPanel is a Unix based web hosting control panel that provides a graphical interface and automation tools designed to simplify the [...]

Google Accounts Nonsense

Scraping iTunes: Setup

A five part series on how I scraped the iTunes store for some app information. My purposes were very specific but I did include notes on how to generalize a bit. This series remains one of the most popular posts on across all of my websites.

Gmail Smart Reply Folders

I finally made the decision to switch to web based email.

I still love the OS integration of a desktop client from time to time, so I am not going to abandon Mail.app entirely. I am, however, going to use the web interface for most of my email needs.

Archetype

system for Archetype – without this we would not have seen the success

Programmer

I believe good programming requires an emphasis on solving problems. It is my goal to help you find sensible solutions to the challenges you face.

Educator

In addition to helping you with the things you cannot (or don’t want to) do, I want to help you discover what you can do on your own and teach you how.

Trouble Maker

Thinking critically, asking questions, solving problems, and teaching others to do the same – these have been my passion since I was young(er).

Welcome

My name is Bill. I am a programmer, an educator, and a trouble maker.

I have more than twenty-five years experience solving real world problems and turning ideas into websites, mobile applications, and actionable strategies. In every relationship, professional and personal, people rely on me for solutions to problems they cannot solve, or don’t know they can solve.

I help clients with programming, database design, website development, systems administration, strategic planning, and classroom technology integration. I also teach entrepreneurs, programmers, webmasters, developers, teachers, and other professionals how to use technology, and only the technology they need, to improve the quality of their lives and work.

This website is simply a place for me to keep track of my work and personal programming projects. Use the tags on the right to review my work by technology or use the links at the top of the page to browse by client or project.

If you are interested in programming services, training or documentation, or you just need a fresh perspective, use the contact form on the right or feel free to call or email me. If you leave a voicemail, please leave your email address. I can respond to every voicemail only if I have the option to respond by email instead.
