Ok... I'll try to avoid the whole Res....

Visual Basic 3,4,5, and 6. .Net v1.0 & v1.1, with Beta
of v2.0.
A little C++. I mostly stick to C# on .Net cause I
hate the VB syntax. I've toyed with Java and am pretty
good with javascript.
I've used a little mySQL, but really know MS SQL
Server in&out (version 6.5 to 2000)

I've done windows apps, web apps, and web services,
and everything in between. I speak xml xsl, html,
http, https, ftp, ssl, ftp/tls, ipc (some), rpc(some),
com, dcom, remoting, serialization (binary & xml), and
... I don't really feel like typing everything and
don't want to sound bragadocious.

I've been doing this for 11+ years and, I think, am
pretty good at it. I've got street cred in the ms-dev
world. 

I used to be an MCSE because I promised myself I
would, but I got bored of it and didn't keep it up.
