Rob Poretti started developing database management systems in 1983, using TRS-DOS Basic on a Radio Shack TRS-80, creating a file i/o system and database for an acoustics program. Five years later, Rob began working in Filemaker Pro on the Apple Macintosh - creating a CRM and sales quotation systems for the audio department at Adcom Electronics. At Sascom, an Access database system was used for a a complete Personal Information Manager, Contact Manager with integrated fax, and a quotation system....
Soon after that, the web exploded and SQL Server back-ends for web applications became mainstream. Snitz Forums development (ASP/ADO/SQL) and various web portal projects all using MS SQL allowed Rob to develop skills in SQL Server, database management, stored queries, triggers, security, back-ups, etc.
Finally working in .Net and DotNetNuke (DNN) - the largest open-source web platform - Rob was on the Forum module team for 2 years.
