Experience
Current activity, St Paul, Minnesota - December - 2017- present
- Updated my Mac to High Sierra. Then installed several items; apache-tomcat-8.5.24, mysql-5.7.20-macos10.12-x86_64, svn - version 1.9.4 (r1740329), Jenkins 2.9.3, Homebrew 1.3.9 (git revision 3ed1), Jdk-9.0.1_osx-x64 (which provides J2EE), and IntelliJ 2017.3.2 IDEA (Java IDE).
- Created an SVN repository and added some files to it. Created some simple Java programs and ran them via command line. I have added sub-dirs into my personal SVN repo for bash, bourne, Java-script, Perl, Python and Ruby. I plan to add test apps or other scripts to the appropriate sub-locations within that SVN repository as they grow into something of value.
- Part of my plan going forward is to eventually install git locally or access a git repo via AWS and capture scripts and apps into that git repository as well as SVN.
