I stumbled across this site a couple of days ago and I have been reading through it ever since. Great tools and a very active, knowledgeable user community. I'm an IT guy by trade but more of a DBA/sysadmin and not a true, or aspiring, developer (although I have spent a fair amount time using Visual Basic, vbscript and some C++ for personal projects in years past.) A relative of mine has a very cool idea for an app and as the resident family IT guy she asked me to look into it. So here I am. I have zero mobile app development experience but I have spent many hours reading through the forums, FAQ's and links on this and other sites and I have a pretty good high-level understanding of the app-building process. What I lack is the low-level expertise to make it happen. I think that with my past experience and a little guidance from the gurus on this site I can hit the ground running. Anyway, when I'm not holed up in the office, trying to keep up with my three kids or working on one of several partially completed home improvement projects I try to enjoy a little golf or fly-fishing. I'm also a big Denver sports fan. Thanks for this forum and I look forward to getting to know some of you. Title Comments Hello!
