Team
Hal Gumbert - I’ve been developing databases, offering shareware, and custom software since 1995 as CampSoftware. I developed our most widely used program which is the the CDROM Interface on every MacAcademy / WindowsAcademy / Studio eWorks produced since 2002. The interface is cross platform, plays training movies, provides a quiz, and features a keyword index.
My first access to a computer was a TRS-80 and my Grandparents purchased a Commodore 64 for me so I could creating programs in BASIC. Then while attending college at Drexel University, I purchased a Macintosh SE along with FileMaker Plus 2.1 by Forethought Inc, well before Claris and FileMaker Inc owned the product. While in college, I helped out several businesses and individuals with their computers and small databases.
My first job out of college was to create a FileMaker database for a Destination Management company to assign tourists to buses on a daily basis to use the least number of buses while reducing the wait time for the tourists.
Since then, I’ve been developing software using many applications including FileMaker, 4th Dimension, and REALbasic. It’s a ton of fun. I just love conceptualizing and implementing solutions for ourselves and our clients.
