					The basis and key points of my work, are up-to-date client/server technologies with main emphasis in Java. Building on top of current analysis and design technics 	(UML), with involvement of existing frameworks and concepts (J2EE/EJB's, Cocoon)	, gives me mainly the knowledge of many case tools and development environments 				(Websphere Application Developer, Eclipse, Rose) 					the posibility, to develop either products from the scratch, or out of existing applications 				(connection to cobol programs at mainframes)	and guiding them up to the production level.
