Category: Open Source Projects

I have been an "Open Source" contributor for several decades. Previous projects have included PHPMailer, PHPMailer-FE, PHPMailer-ML, DCP-Portal, ttCMS, QuickCSV, QuickCache, QuickSkin, OPcache, SmartTemplate, FormValidator, and a few others. Health issues forced a retirement in 2012 ...
