Welcome to my site!

Hello! I’m Peter Dao.

I have developed this site to share and connect all the friends around the globe from Laos, France, San Francisco, and Sacramento, California. I started learning Computer Science in 1975, Paris France. My first program was in Fortran that run on minicomputer Mitral 15. In 1978, I came to San Francisco and continued to my study in Computer science at http://www.ccsf.edu/ . I remembered my first class was Intro to Data Processing class. This class was hands on Mainframe computers. We were required to submit batch jobs in a deck of keypunch cards. We hold these cards and put them to the readers for processing. My second year consisted all the computer languages from System Analyst and Design, Fortran, C, and COBOL. After I finished my two years with an Associate degree in Computer Science, I transferred to SF State University http://www.sfsu.edu/. Here, I had decided to program in Business applications using COBOL in the earlier 80s.
In 1983, I received my Bachelor in Information Systems and had to work as a computer operator on HP3000 for about over a year due to lack of market jobs. While I was working in Computer room, I attended Golden Gate University for Master in Information Systems in the evening. In 1986, I received my Master degree from http://www.ggu.edu/ and my final thesis about Personal Computers(PC) in small business. I had been worked in the San Francisco and San Jose areas for about 14 years. I decided to move to Sacramento, Capitol of California in 1997 to buy affordable houses. At the same time, I worked for several consulting companies as C or windows programming developer. I attended evening courses for Web certificate at http://extension.ucdavis.edu/index.asp. I started working as web developer for Vision Service Plan http://www.vsp.com/ in the late 90s. I love my careers and my jobs because it is very challenging. I have to keep up with technologies every year to stay on this train.
