Ryan S.
Ryan S. is the best 16 year old ASP programmer I've run across! He is a
testament to the adage that the best computer scientists are still in high school.
(Man, do I feel old, and I'm only 20!) I'm really looking forward to more
articles from Ryan, they are truly fantabulous.

Ryan S.'s Bio
|
I'm currently 17, in college, about to get out of my Freshman year before I
hit 18. Starting Fall 2001, I'll be going to college at Oral Roberts University
in Tulsa for a double major in Comp Sci and Philosophy. Right now, I'm all about P.Y.T.,
and you can see what's going on at my site http://www.lovespyt.com and you can
see what I'm cooking up in the (often buggy) devel site of http://devel.lovespyt.com.
As a side note, it's all hosted off my box, so don't expect speed or anything fun like
reliability (I am at 99.1% since February tho :D)
