I am retired now but was in public health working on metadata systems and standards plus some web development (ASP.Net and c#), mainly in data visualisation. I am by no means an expert but have usually managed to do everything I've needed to, albeit a bit slow at times, especially in the early days and with help from some real experts.
Now-days I am mainly just keeping my hand in working on a few websites for voluntary organisations (using VS2010 in ASP.Net and c#) and have recently been working on some interactive mapping which is going really well. I have now started playing around with linq to xml and linq to sql which seems quite a different way to work from what I've been used to.
