Knowledge:
I know the operating systems MS-DOS, Windows 3.1 up to Windows 10 and many standardsoftware.
I also develop software in Visual Studio (VB .NET), mainly database-applications.
Some programs for download can be found at
Software.
Orders for software development are welcome.
I even know a couple about internet technologys like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, SQL, ...
(see
Apps) and I develop internet homepages (e.g.
Pierre & Sprachferien).
With CorelDraw and other photo editing software I make artistically drawings and I'm sometimes
present at contests - e.g. the annual Corel design contest. A small selection of my
computer-graphical "masterpieces" can be found at the
Picturegallery.
