The History of www.ambysoft.com

• September 1996: I first put this web site up to help me market myself, and in particular my writings. Over time the web site grew and became more and more complex, in part because I didn't put together a plan for the site and also because I was experimenting with the technology.
• June 1997: I released version 2 of this site, it's purpose to market my services as an independent consultant in object technology and to continue to market my writings.
• June 1999: Version 3 reflected the fact that I had joined Ronin International, Inc. as a senior consultant.
• December 2004: Version 4 uses my new look and feel by introducing icons for both myself and for the company.
• August 2005: Punched up the menus a bit, introduced a style sheet for improved look and feel

The Design of www.ambysoft.com
The over-riding goal of this web site is KISS – Keep It Simple, Stupid. I really dislike it when I have to sit and wait for a fancy graphic to be transmitted down the wire to me. Like many of you I’m on the net for the content, not the fluff, so I intend to keep this web site as simple as possible. There’s lots of good information here and if you want a picture then all you need to do is click on it to download it.

I also decided to keep the color scheme simple: A white background with dark text (black, red, blue) output on it. This is an example of what I call the "contrast rule" in The Object Primer -- Use dark text on a light background or light text on a dark background. The greater the contrast between the text color and the background color the easier it is to read.
