2/15/2001	Welcome to the new version my site! This site will be a central location for all Delphi and C++ Builder programmers to find information on programming for the two most efficient programming environments around, in my opinion I'm an avid programmer that as been programming since I got my hands on a VIC-20 and a book called "More Basic Computer Games". From then I spent what I should have on a car, on an "Apple //e" computer with a "Duo Disk". With that computer I created a C-RPG based on AD&D;using the random dungeon generators from the DM handbook. It was completely coded in AppleSoft Basic and was fast enough for a text based game. I resisted the IBM PC pull for many years but finally gave in and got a 386 and Turbo Pascal. WOW!!!! What Speed and Power. With that I wrote my first graphical computer game "SPACE SEARCH" basically a very simple clone of Galagian. I've written alot of text processing utilities for myself and make them available via SIMTEL20 As far as professional experience, I've been programming in Turbo Pascal, Turbo C++, Delphi 1,2,3,4,5, C++ Builder 3,4,5, GNU C, PRO C, JAVA 1.1 & 1.2 and a lot SQL for now 12 years. My specialities are Efficient user interface design, Network Programman and Client Server/Database Programming. Game Programming has just been one of my hobbies that I'm just get good at. This Site will be under construction for the next couple weeks while I get this stuff working and the article together and linked in. Please check back regularly. If you are interest in contributing to this site please send email to bnortman@geocities.com and I'll see if I can include it. You will be given full credit and a link to a website for your article.
