We are proud to introduce our team of IT professional mentors!
- Member: COBOLdinosaur
- Level: Mentor
- Introduction: COBOLdinosaur brings a wealth of mature technical judgment and a strategic focus gained during four decades of diverse software development experience. He has earned a reputation for providing skilled and practical guidance to IT professionals.
- Topics: HTML, CSS, General Web Development, Web Languages, COBOL, Tandem Platforms, Javascript, Java, XML and all web related topics.
- Background: COBOLdinosaur has been providing support on help sites such as Experts-exchange, Askme, Coding Forums, Echoecho and a number of others for 6 years. He has always been among the most highly rated experts in those environments where ratings are maintained, and has assisted thousands of developers to successfully master new technologies under his tutelage.
COBOLdinosaur has consulted for a variety of entrepreneurial and technology businesses and is the author of a number of articles and code sets that will be available on ERT. He will be producing additional high quality content for members of ERT, with content selection based on the needs of the ERT member Community.
- Personal: The COBOLdinosaur persona belongs to Roy Marchand, a 60 year old, professional from Canada with 40 years experience in IT, on everything from early IBM 360 mainframes to the latest Windows and Linux desktops.
- Quote: "I am really excited about the new opportunities for training new developers, and helping experienced developers move up to the next level. I have not seen any format like the ERT learning model that gives both the Mentor and the IT professional such an easy relationship. It almost guarantees that everyone I offer help to will get better at what they do and take from the site lessons that will help them throughout their career. I wish ERT had come along 5 years ago. ERT is assembling the finest group of Mentor/Experts that has ever been assembled in one place in the history of the Internet."
