Andrew Ross

CSS Training Specialist

I am a Kiwi, New Zealander, currently living in England with my wife. My profession is medical and my hobbies are traveling (hence one reason for our move to the UK), surfing the web and growing cactus. I have always had an interest in computers from the C-64 in the early eighties, a bit of a hiatus, then the PC and the internet in the late nineties, and now my laptop of course has traveled half-way round the world with me.

As webmaster of the NZ Cactus and Succulent Society, I learned HTML, then CSS through trial and error - still learning - as we all are. One of my projects at the moment is creating a commercial site for my wife to sell the jeweler she creates.

Martha Bagwell

Self Proclaimed Spyware Removal / Fighter Fanatic!

I have lived in a lot of places, including Iran (while the Shah was still there), Brazil, Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands and Scotland. I enjoyed living in those places, but I enjoy living in the United States, my homeland. I have a husband, James, and two sons, Mark, a computer science engineer and Todd, who is A+ Certified.

I am now retired and having a lot more fun than when I was was working!

I have had a computer since 1982, when we returned home from Scotland where I first saw a computer, a Commodore 64 and fell in love with computers. I am self taught about computers and am still in a learning mode, especially about the web! However, I do consider I am slightly expert in battling spyware, spam and other malware and with my website, Martha's Web, I hope to educate people how to keep these pervasive uglies from ruining their enjoyment on the web, their computers and possibly their lives by having their identities stolen.

Brian V Bonini

Problem Solver

Since 1997 (after a brief stint as a computer hardware specialist) I've been the executive producer and founder of gfx-Design and have more recently added ONI Data Solutions to the roster. I oversee all aspects of design, development, integration and quality control in addition to hands on development of all phases of our projects.

I am well versed in past, present and future W3c (X)HTML/XML, XSL/XSLT, DOM, and CSS specifications. I've built many web applications using LAMP technologies (Linux, Apache, PHP, MySQL) and specialize in configuring and working in each of these technologies individually as well. I'm an avid proponent of web standards, accessibility, open source and anything anti-Microsoft. As such, I've been an exclusive Linux/UNIX user for almost 10 years now and enjoy administering these systems. With the birth of ONI Data Solutions we are now venturing out into a more broad range of data related services. One of which will be supplemental support services for individuals and companies not receiving the level of support they need from their primary providers. In addition we provide a full range of web hosting solutions, domain registration and management, application installation and configuration.

In this classroom I provide basic advice and solutions for some of the more intricate areas of web design/development and server administration. Including Apache's mod_rewrite for mapping dynamic to static URLs for optimum SEO performance, application installation and configuration, application programming and while we have two excellent HTML and CSS tutors you will often find me chiming in with my $0.02 there as well.

In general, I love anything mentally challenging. A problem that needs solving (of any nature) is what truly motivates my work ethic.

• HTML Writers Guild
• International Webmasters Association
• International High IQ Society

On a personal note: I am a competitive athlete (cycling) and as such, am very interested in sports physiology, psychology and nutrition. When I'm not at the helm of a cathode ray tube I'm on my bike, in the gym, or teaching aerobics (spin) classes. I love pushing myself physically to the limits to see how much I can endure. I'm married for 14 years now to Laura who is currently completing her Masters work and have a 13 year old daughter Hayley.
