From September 1994 to August 1996 I worked in the UK and Germany on consulting projects for my company Attitude Software. I invested in learning object oriented concepts, Windows development and generally bringing myself up to date with the state of the art in professional software development.
Founded Attitude Software in the UK to focus on Windows-based application development and object-oriented design. This was my first hands-on experience with OO; the tools I was using until then implemented the concepts of Jackson Structured Programming. I developed a number of niche commercial applications during this period using Borland Delphi, at least one of which is still running unchanged today.
Performed in-depth quality assurance review of PC-based development product for German software tools company. This project covered both the software and the supporting documentation. Travelled to Germany regularly to report on progress. Also developed an automated Windows-based product demonstration for use at trade shows and other sales events.
I also translated a programming standards manual from German to English for BMW.
