Profile Information
- I am a:
- Speaker
- I speak about:
- Internet, Technology
- My Bio:
- Hi, my name is Bill Sempf, and I am an enterprise architect. Though I used to hate the term enterprise architect, it is clearly the only thing out there that defines what it is that I do. My breadth of experience includes business and technical analysis, software design, development, testing, server management and maintenance and security. In my 17 years of professional experience I have participated in the creation of well over 200 applications for large and small companies, managed the software infrastructure of two Internet service providers, coded complex software happily in every environment imaginable, and made mainframes talk to cell phones. In short, I make the technology that people are using every play nicely together.
I started playing with computers in 1979 and haven't looked back since. In 1985 I was helping my father (also Bill) manage Apple IIe systems at the local library. Since then I have built applications for the likes of Lucent Technologies, Bank One, Nationwide Insurance and Sears, Roebuck and Co. I am the author of Visual Basic 2008 and 2005 for Dummies; a coauthor of Effective Visual Studio.NET, Professional ASP.NET Web Services and Professional VB.NET; a frequent contributor to MSDN, Builder.com, Hardcore Web Services, Inside Web Development Journal and Intranet Journal; and have recently been an invited speaker for the ACM and IEEE, DevEssentials, the International XML Web Services Expo and the Association of Information Technology Professionals. I am a graduate of The Ohio State University with a Bachelor’s of Science in Business Administration, Microsoft Certified Professional, Certified Internet Business Strategist and Certified Internet Webmaster. My company is Products Of Innovative New Technology (usually called POINT) and I can be reached at bill@pointweb.net.
- What I do best:
- Keep technology simple.
- I charge a fee of:
- Free
- Some notes on how I charge for my services:
- I usually don't charge to speak. If I am leaving Columbus, I would like my travel expenses reimbursed. Generally, I am just trying to spread the word about my books!
Now, if you need me to develop a special topic, then I might charge for that. for instance, if you want a special talk on the impact of pragmatic architecture on converting from Java to .NET for example, then we would negotiate fees for development of the talk.
