Person
Joe Mayo is a pioneer within the C# community. Joe created the C# Station Web site shortly after this new language was introduced. His very popular C# Tutorials are accessed by Web developers and Web sites throughout the world. Joe is a seasoned developer with more than 15 years of robust experience. Over the years, he has programmed in a variety of languages including assembler, C, C++, VBA, and Forte 4GL. His database experience encompasses Paradox, Dbase III, MS Access, and Oracle. Frameworks include MFC and Motif. He has programmed several operating systems including VAX VMS, RSX-11, UNIX, and several versions of MS-DOS and MS Windows. He has developed applications in standalone mode for desktops, client-server on LANs, and n-tier applications on LANs and WANs. Joe opened a Web site titled C# Station in late June 2000. He is currently a software engineer for Qwest Communications.
