About the Author

Currently, I work as a software quality engineer and web developer and live in the USA. I do both: front-end and the back end. On the back-end, I use PHP and Oracle. This is why I write eBooks about programming in PHP and SQL. My first computer language was Visual Basic. I learned it in 1996. At the same time, I started attending Borough of Manhattan Community College. My major was Computer Science. At BMCC, I learned C++, assembly language and Java.

I like computer programming, but my first passion was neurophysiology, which I studied and taught for more than ten years. My way of thinking, probably, is different than that of other programmers, and because of that, my books about programming are a little different.

When I started learning computer programming, by reading books, I noticed that many authors are missing the very beginning. Imagine, that you are at a gas station in the middle of an unknown city and you are asking a guy for direction to the city "N." He answers, "Take I-95 north, then take exit 73". His explanation is clear, but you cannot start driving anyway because he did not tell you how to get to I-95 north.

This is the problem with many books about computer programming. In my books, I always tell my readers how to get to the point from where they have to "start driving." To be successful in computer programming, you don't have to have the mind of a mathematician. If you can rearrange boxes in your garage in such a way that will avail space for your car, then you can be a computer programmer.

Our dog needs urgent surgery, and the cost is overwhelming.

Any help, big or small, would mean the world to us. Thank you for supporting Oscar on his journey to recovery!

Oscar Story.

Oscar wasn’t just any puppy—he was a gift from a mother who trusted us with her smallest one.

For five years, my wife worked at the Indian Medical Center in Arizona, deep in Navajo Nation. Near her clinic, she often saw a homeless dog wandering the area. Over time, she began feeding her, and the dog grew fond of her. Then, one day, that same dog brought her newborn puppies to my wife—as if proudly showing them off.

Among them was the smallest, most delicate pup. My wife couldn’t resist. She brought him home, and we named him Oscar.

Oscar thrived in the house provided by the medical center, enjoying the big backyard where he lived. I built him a sturdy wooden doghouse, and we often took him on walks along the Window Rock Trail. He became our adventure companion, making the vast desert feel like home.

After my wife’s contract ended, we moved back to Florida, bringing Oscar with us. He adjusted to his new surroundings, but he never lost his adventurous spirit.

Now, Oscar faces a tough challenge—he needs urgent surgery, and the cost is overwhelming. We want to give him the best care possible, just as he’s given us years of joy and loyalty.

Any help, big or small, would mean the world to us. Thank you for supporting Oscar on his journey to recovery!
