The Information Technology profession has seen massive and dramatic change since the early days of mainframe computers and punch cards. Colleges and trade schools offer a multitude of classes for people desiring to enter the profession. While they do an excellent job of teaching technical skills, there is a lot more to learn to become a successful IT professional.

This book identifies several essential tips and strategies to excel in IT. They are lessons learned throughout a forty-five year career that bean in the era of large mainframe computers. Real world projects completed by the author are used to illustrate what it takes to advance from a typical member of an IT department to someone who has mastered the profession and become indispensable.

Many of these projects were true game-changers, with successful completions doubling company revenues or rescuing businesses from impending failure. Most presented formidable challenges, often appearing nearly impossible, but were overcome through unwavering dedication and remarkable innovation.
