Welcome

I began programming in earnest when I purchased a discounted version of Visual Basic 2.0 back in the 1990s. Now they call it classic! Visual Basic (classic). I was certified by Microsoft as a Tech Specialist for ASP.NET Web Applications 2.0 almost 20 years ago. The certification test focused on Membership, which was a set of classes, models, and controls to allow the public to register and log in to a website. In the 2000s, I published an ASP.NET 4.x web forms, WCF, and SQL Server application. It was developed with Visual Studio and Visual Basic. The public access management was called Identity and implemented features like confirmed email addresses, forgot password reset, and two factor authentication.

I published KenHaggerty.Com an ASP.NET Core application. It was developed with Visual Studio, C#, and SQL Server. The public access management was Identity. In 2021, I developed and published UsersWithoutPasswords.Com. The public access management implements WebAuthn, which relies heavily on client JavaScript. All required Windows, SQL Server, and IIS hosting. Along came Node.js and Express. These open source and cross platform JavaScript frameworks with PostgreSQL database server allows less expensive Linux(Ubuntu) hosting. I developed Express With Users implementing my public access experience and modern ECMAScript standards.
