[FX.php List] Just Curious

[Dale Bengston]

Jonathan,

I started out in marketing for commercial software companies. I got  
sick of having lousy (or no) tools to track my projects and  
streamline my workflow, so I started writing my own. Other people  
thought they were useful too, so I started a company to develop  
marketing and print workflow tools (all web-based) for others. My  
college degrees are in Journalism and History.

Particularly where FileMaker is involved, I think you'll find a lot  
of people who "backed into" software development.
