Chris Burbridge started his software career at the age of 17, in 1983.
Since then, he has worked as a freelance graphic designer, a copy editor, a writer, and—for fourteen years—as a computer programmer for the software industry, developing online help systems, websites, relational databases, and custom text processing tools.
In 2005, he started an independent web design and development company, geared toward helping small businesses and startups create a successful presence on the web. He ended this business in 2008, when he decided to devote his full-time internet efforts to helping steer people in the right direction, and leaving the actual creation of websites to somebody else.
