Martin Holzke's programming career started while studying Physics in the late 1980's when he took on an offer to learn to program at Philips instead of the more common student jobs. Once graduated, he started his own business developing applications and systems as a freelance IT Consultant which he does to this day. His 25+ years' journey continues to take him through a vast array of technologies, methodologies and languages like OOP, UML, C++, .NET, ADF, PHP, Zend, Oracle and SQL to name just a few.
