Scott Forsyth is no different, but his area of expertise is more unusual: web hosting using .NET technology.

Database Geek of the Week - Gary Mallow

2005/10/18

Database geeks are all around us. I met Gary Mallow on the email list of a cycling group run by a local church. After some conversation, I discovered that he is a director of a group of developers who build applications, sometimes using .NET and often using Oracle as a database. Like me, Gary is not entirely comfortable with his ability as a UI developer, and so finds database work a good fit.
