We have been building web sites since the Internet was created. First using only HTML, then helpful programs like Adobe Web Builder came along, then PHP, MySQL, Dreamweaver and now NetBeans.

So there's been a vast improvement in the last 40 + years. A lot of the web sites we built years ago are no longer in existence as companies come and go. The longest running web site we still host and maintain is VenComSales.com.

Back when we began our journey as engineers and needed to build a machine that could respond to sensors and create an output to motors, lights, etc. We had to connect the sensors to individual components which then went into a custom hard wired logic board then out to the active components.
This was a laborious task because we had to manually wire in timing circuits to create the logic steps.
Now with a microcomputer all we need to do is hook up the input sensors and the active components and simply program in the logic steps.

As always we are looking to new technologies and the latest are 3D Printing, CNC machining, Laser Engraving and UV printing.
We have just purchased a UV printer and are beginning to create new inovative products using all these machines.
