Software by DalesPlace is a part time enterprise of Dale Sampson, RN
My original computer background began in the mid 70's as a hardware
technician working on Digital Equipment mini-computers. I was Technical
Manager of a fair size data center. My responsibilities were broad and included
working closely with the programming staff and customer relations personnel.
It was at this time I started turning those college formal logic and programming
classes into something practical.
My next job was MIS at a medium size manufacturing company working with a
large range of business, inventory, manufacturing, and modeling software. I left
there to join a small consulting firm doing much the same kind of programming
and software design.
In the late-80's the market place for Digital Equipment pretty much
disappeared due to a variety of forces. I had a choice - go back to school
& rebuild my computer skills or change professions. I changed
professions and earned my A.S. in Nursing and began my work in Critical Care and
E.R. departments.
My interest in computers continued and I worked on learning programming in
Windows during my spare time. After developing a variety of applications
for my use, I decided to see if I could turn some of them into marketable
products. Software by DalesPlace was born. RPWiz represents my first
commercial venture. There are several more in the wings.
