Trond Pettersen on Web Development and Topic Maps

Open for Web Development Opportunities in the US.

About

My name is Trond K. Pettersen and I’m a web development consultant at Bouvet ASA.

My areas of expertise and interest are: all aspects of web application development, mostly PHP and Java, front end technologies and Topic Maps. I have an eye for semantic (X)HTML &  unobtrusive JavaScript and enjoy jQuery.

Although primarly interested in web development, I have also worked with other relevant technologies such as e.g. C#, WPF and Caliburn.

This is my personal blog, opinions and meanings. In the event that you want to contact me, you may do so via trondpet[at]hotmail.com.
