Welcome to my blog! My name is Dave Clayton and I am the lead developer of the Software Know How web site. I have worked in the IT industry since the year 2000 where I have gained knowledge of various development technologies ranging from MS-DOS applications right through to modern web applications.

My specialist subject and main area of interest is database development. Having started out as a Microsoft Access developer for a software house I gained a good understanding of database concepts and a good foundation of database design and architecture. I quickly became familiar with Microsoft SQL Server which I now consider to be my strong point.

In more recent years I have been using a web content management system known as DotNetNuke. This framework provides a mechanism for building anything from a quick hobbyist web site right up to a professional enterprise web site. For me, the fact that the framework runs on SQL Server is also a bonus!
