Software Developer SITHASO HOLDINGS (PTY) LTD

South Africa

I'm a Bachelor of Commerce graduate, fell inlove with ICT years back with VB5. Used Pick & System Builder to create a windows app. Very curious, developed my first web database app called Project.Show using ExtJS. Published on Google Play Store, learned JQuery Mobile, a project manager at best. My first intranet app eFas with MySQL.

Fear closes people to a lot of things and we hold ourselves back being held by it. Thus the sooner you believe you can't do something, the sooner everything will work towards that belief. Believe in yourself at all times because you can do anything you set your mind to it!

I have a very beautiful woman and four kids, the best joys in the world. East London, South Africa is currently home.

Easy Computer Academy, LLC

Hello my name is Kris. I’m here because I am passionate about helping non-techie people to overcome their fear of learning SQL.

I know what it is like to not know where to start or whether the time spent learning is worth the effort. That is why I am here to help you to:
- Get started in an easy to follow step-by-step manner.
- Use your time wisely so you focus on what is important to learn to get the most value from your time.
- Answer your questions. Really! Just post a comment and I’ll respond. I’m here to help.

It wasn’t long ago that I was helping a colleague with some reporting. She didn’t know where to start and soon got overwhelmed and lost as she didn’t know SQL.

I felt really bad, as she was under pressure to get some summary information to her boss, the built-in reports were falling short, and to make them better would require her to know SQL. At that time that seemed impossible! It in dawned on me, it doesn’t have to be that way.

Then I discovered a way for anyone with the desire to easily learn SQL. I worked with my co-worker, started to teach her what I learned and soon she was able to write reports and answer her boss’ questions without getting stressed or ploughing hours into manipulating data in Excel.

It hasn’t always been easy. Sometimes the information seems abstract or too conceptual. In this case I’ve found out that a visual explanation is best. I really like to use diagrams or videos to explain hard-to-grasp ideas.

Having video, pictures, and text really help to reinforce the point and enable learning.

And now I want to help you get the same results.

Hey there, it's Rahul Sahay! I'm thrilled to be a platform specialist at Publicis Sapient, where I get to work on some exciting projects. I've been honing my skills in various aspects of the software development life cycle for more than 15 years, with a primary focus on web stack development. I've been fortunate to have contributed to numerous software development initiatives, ranging from client applications to web services and websites. Additionally, I enjoy crafting application architecture from scratch, and I've spent most of my time writing platform agnostic and cloud agnostic code. As a self-proclaimed code junkie, software development is more than just a job to me; it's a passion! And I consider myself lucky to have worked with an array of cutting-edge technologies, from .NetCore to SpringBoot 3, from Angular to React, and from Azure to AWS and many more cousin technologies...

SA Police Super

Australia

I have always been interested in electronics and computers. I built my own C/PM micro system as a teenager and progressed from there to the System80, C64 and finally the PC. I've been a programmer and analyst for most of my working life in private and government employment, using languages based on BASIC and C. Most of my career was spent as a Senior Systems Analyst using PICK, Universe, D3 and VB6. I am now working in C#, .NET4 and SQL Server 2008/2012, but still keeping in touch with D3 (PICK).
Although I spend most of my time in a Windows (7 & 2008) environment, I also have a bit of a Unix background and dabble in a bit of LINUX here and there.
I'm currently the Manager IT at SA Police Super where I look after all their IT needs. I'll probably be here until I retire. So much to do...
