Rotterdam, The Netherlands
Don Wibier has been programming for more years than he can count. At the age of 15, he built a ticketing and reservation system in Clipper for his father's cinema, for which he and his friend were compensated with a brand new 386 PC!
After studying electronics and IT, Don embarked on a career in development, working with some of the biggest companies in The Netherlands and developing multi-tier enterprise solutions. Seeing an exciting future with the internet, he started building Delphi-based ISAPI DLLs in combination with application servers and databases. Working with an internet startup, he architected one of the fastest online services for finding and booking airfares. Don then built one of the most user-friendly
Content Management Systems available, which is even now powering hundreds of web and mobile implementations across the world.
As Technical Evangelist at DevExpress, Don is eager to share his knowledge and experience with you!
Toen hij 15 jaar was, creerde Don een kaartverkoop en reserverings applicatie in Clipper voor zijn vaders bioscoop in ruil voor een nagelnieuwe 386 PC!
Na zijn electronica en IT studie besloot Don om zijn cariere in development voort te zetten en heeft bij een aantal grote bedrijven gewerkt aan multi-tier enterprise oplossingen.
Met de komst van het world wide web begon hij met het ontwikkelen van Delphi based ISAPI DLL’s in combinatie met applicatie en databases.
Bij een internet startup heeft hij één van de snelste online engines gebouwd voor het real-time zoeken en reserveren van vliegtickets.
Voordat Don bij DevExpress begon als Technical Evangelist, heeft hij één van de meest gebruikersvriendelijke Content Management Systems voor dotNET bedacht en gebouwd waarop dit moment honderden web-sites op draaien.
Als Technical Evangelist zal hij met veel genoegen zijn kennis en ervaring met je delen!
