Orientation > Step 3 - Reunited!

Now that you've gotten information specific for you, here is a very short website intro for everyone as well as a brief introduction to the background of the Lead Developer for this project. 

Orientation Menu - Please be SURE to complete the orientation process. It includes a very short introduction to a Model you will need to help with your own education, education of others and navigation for this website. 

Education Menu - We are having to Educate people ranging from age 8 to 88.  Some are Certified Public Accountants. Others are immigrants who barely speak the native language. Ironically, the later may be easier to teach as no "un-teaching" needs to transpire. We wanted to try to do it all with one set of curriculum. Skim it all first and gloss over that which you don't understand. Getting to the end of the skim provides a skeleton framework. You will learn more than you think by doing that. Then go back and skim again or read it as necessary and applicable.  

Software Menu - This is the gateway to all of our Software Templates. They are organized via the 6 Box Model which is introduced in Orientation Step 4, so please complete step 4 of the Orientation process. 

Contribute Menu - This has been a self-funded venture. We currently have no business related debt and no financial investors. We expect to keep it that way, as that is the only way to ensure long term staying power for this type of Community focused offering. Please donate what you can when you can.  If you use our material for your own commercial gains on a regular basis, please establish your own, self-regulated royalty program for us and send us a check as applicable. 

For CPAs -  This information was created for CPAs (Certified Public Accountants),  but it is, in fact, a good read for all.   The United States currently has 400,000 Certified Public Accountants, yet we have major Accounting Problems with literally TRILLIONS of dollars missing from the Pentagon and other government programs that should be a national embarrassment. Helping people understand how money can, but should not go missing in an accounting system is key to rectifying our past and charting a course for a far healthier and more transparent financial future. 

More Menu - Check it out on your own. The content there will shift and change as needed. 

Lead Developer / Development History

The Lead Developer of these solutions started with Fortran in 1988. He progressed into the Database and Business System Software realm in the early 1990s. He put together his first web page in the 1996 time frame. With support from others, he quickly progressed into E-Commerce sites and credit card processing systems.

• He and an old partner are believed to have been the first to pass a credit card in a production environment via TCP/IP to Bank of America's Visanet in the late 1990's (or was it early 2000's?).
• He built his first web based accounting system in 2002.
• He built and certified a credit card portal in 2003 with VITAL/Tsys. 
• He built an ERP system in Classic ASP for a 40 person "manufacturing facility" that ran 24/7/365. The data was stored and served from a  Microsoft Access Database that was hosted from a $4 website in Canada and accessed by the company employees via a wireless internet connection in 2004, AND that system didn't have a single technical burp for 8 months at one point. Portions of that system were later valued in the 7 figure range, but it wasn't for sale. It was meant for the benefit of Small Business people. 
• He also has a very strong background in Data Encryption and Hashing routines although none of that was used in these applications. 
  
  

You simply don't know what you are missing when it comes to the simple and powerful technology that Microsoft and Bill Gates released in the 1990's and then rapidly suppressed in the early to mid 2000's. For suppression, they had heavy assistance from Silicon Valley Media and Bankers. When they figured out how powerful the Classic ASP and PHP scripting platforms were with no residual income for the powers that be, it was all said to be tossed out to sea, illogically. 

These ZAP Accounting Software solutions have been designed by someone who could have done this in a far more sexy and far more profitable fashion.  These products were built and distributed in this format because this is what benefits Mother Earth, her Animals, and our Global Computing Community the most.  

On the surface, our solutions provide Educational Information and Software for Small Businesses and Individuals. Underneath, they represent a bridge for individuals with no database programming background to understand database basics related to "forms", "data tables", and "reports" in a way that allows them to rapidly step into relational databases and web based business systems in a matter of hours or days.  

The Commercial Pirates who have run our world into the ground need no more support from Engineers and Technologists who advanced their cause in a time gone by. Supporting a constant state of Intellectual Property Development followed by Suppression is no longer the cool way to go.

These ZAP Accounting Software Templates are intended to help dramatically raise the proficiency of DIY Software Builders. If and when there is enough community support for these,  more complex system templates and copies of more complex web based systems will be released.   ​

What those old Commercial Pirates need most now are lively and enlightening lessons about the dark side of monopolistic desires that our stealth Global Computing Community has been gearing up for in silent solidarity for a very long time.

Just One Step left and then you'll be on your way...
