Introduction

Hello everyone! Condensed version Name: Dan Chase Skills: PHP, Perl, hardware, training Focus: DOM XML, XSLT Platform: Apache 1.3.x on Red Hat Long version: My name is Dan Chase and I work for the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga as their webmaster. While I'm supposed to be a more content oriented person--considering I work for the department of University Relations--I REALLY am a techie! I came from the Help Desk here at the University, and have a background in component level repair of PCs from the days when that was economical. I am also an experienced trainer, and combining that with my interest in XML, I have been training our in house programming staff to use DOM XML with XSLT via PHP, which will be my focus of working with the QA list. While not a C programmer, I can look at the code and generally figure out what it is doing, and make minor fixes and of course compile and install my own preferences for PHP, Apache, Perl, SSL... etc. My language strengths are probably Perl & PHP. I have an undergraduate degree in education with a specialty in physics education and most of my computer expertise is self-taught over the years. The platforms I work on are primarily Red Hat Linux on Dell hardware. My desktop is RH7.3 on a Dell Precision 420 Workstation at present (about to be replaced,) the University's primary web server is a one U Dell PowerEdge 1550 running RH7.3, we have a testbed server running RH8.0 also. All these systems use a standardized install of Apache/PHP/Perl/... Soon to try PHP 4.3.0RC1 on both Apache 1.3.x & Apache 2. -Dan -- C.
