This is About Me

A little about me:

My name is Alf Pedersen, I'm Norwegian, and I have had an Engineering degree in Computer Science since 1974.

I have spent around 30 years in the database business, working as a programmer, designer, analyst, and CTO/CEO of several consultant companies. On several occasions I have also done projects for Oracle Corporation as a hired hand (some call it mercenary...).

I created this site in order to share my experiences with all professionals who want to learn more about database design and how to improve yourself for the tough marketplace we have today.

I have a passion for sharing information and helping fellow professionals, and I hope this site shows it.

In this little About Me page, I will also give you some information about my website: Although I have been working with databases for 30+ years, I have not worked on Web applications or anything else web related, directly; only as an analyst on the DB side. It was therefore quite a challenge to create my own website, as you can imagine.

However, as you may tell from my About Me page, today I am using a tool that is helping me with all of that stuff. I don't want to say much about it, but I really like it, and it is solely due to the tool I use, that I have been able to provide you with (hopefully) good stuff on database design, and not least, drawing traffic to it:

You may like to watch a 3-minute TV session about the tool I use. It is well worth watching. Just click on the TV below:

I also invite you to "waste" 30 minutes watching the following video (if you did not watch it on the TV above): It may well be the most important 30 minutes you have ever spent on the Internet. Just my opinion, of course, but never the less: My opinion.

This 3-year old website has around 2.000 visitors/day (increasing), and is financed by ads and eBooks, and is ranked very well (top 1% of all websites in the world). Would you believe?

Just my 2 cents worth of argumenting, if you wish. But if you pay attention to the video, it might just make you able to leave your JOB (Just Over Broke). Click on the videocamera to take the video tour:

Consider the tool I am using, for your own benefit. It works: You are here. That's proof.
