| Introduction | Following my graduate work in biochemistry which involved computational work, I studied psycho-pharmacology with specific interests in alcohol. I worked as a supervisor in a satellite clinical laboratory (JCAH) at the Zablocki VA Hospital and gave the alcohol lecture to second year medical students for the better part of ten years at The Medical College of Wisconsin. In the Internet boom era, I had a 24/7 connection to the Internet via Northern Illinois University. I was the wizard known as Watson Crick at BioMOO and published on the use of text-based virtual reality as a conferencing/teaching tool. By 1999 I knew as much as anybody about how the Internet worked and quite a bit about object-oriented programming. This helped me secure the academic position at Carroll University where I taught in the Masters of Software Engineering program for the next ten years. My real first name is John but since my oldest son has the same name and is a software developer, I have adopted Dokta as my first name. I retired in 2009. |
