Hello, world! My name is Ryan Heldt. I'm what some people call a "full-stack" developer. For the uninitiated, that just means I do both front and back-end programming. As a central Iowa native, I have nearly 25 years of experience working up and down the software development lifecycle and have built everything from simple websites to multi-tier distributed applications, content management systems, e-commerce platforms, and more.
Most of my work in recent years has been with Microsoft tools and technologies -- (.NET, SQL Server, Visual Studio, and the like), but I've spent a great deal of time in the ColdFusion/CFML world and hold an Adobe Certified Expert designation in ColdFusion. There's also been the occasional dalliance in PHP and Java over the years, but please don't hold that against me.

Qbasic / QuickBasic User Interface Stuff
When I was in high school, I liked to toy about in Qbasic and later QuickBasic. During that time, I wrote a handful of user interface functions. I really don’t know if they’re of use to anyone or not, but maybe someone will get a kick out of them. LS_POWER on GitHub.
