A long history of small-scale programming: scripts, Windows Visual Basic apps, xsl/t, web authoring. Other than Content Management Systems, it has been a while. The urgencies and deadlines lie in other directions.
Web Authoring and Management
Joomla! Content Management Systems. Examples: this site, CivilHelp.com Troop4web.com.
XML and XSL/T
Stylesheet customization. My last standalone program provided some InRoads .xin management similar but not as extensive as Ini Manager.
Windows Applications
Ini Manager. I wrote a couple of applications that saw wide use. I wrote Ini Manager when I realized that the recommendations I was making for enterprise-wide InRoads Standards Management could not be done without some tools tailored for the Administrators. Manual methods were simply to difficult to be sustained.
I remember being at a conference talking to a user from South Africa. He said "Oh, you wrote Ini Manager. That's great, I use it all the time." That might have been the first time I felt "global."
FlowMonster. This was my first effort to keep people from using Haestad's FlowMaster. The City of San Diego wanted to buy 50 or more copies of FlowMaster simply to calculate normal depth in pipes. "Phyllis, give me 20 hours. I'll write you an unlimited application for it." I was doing some Discovery Interviews recently and noticed a familiar icon on their desktops. "Is that FlowMonster?! Do you still use it?!" "Yes. Regularly." I was both proud and horrified.
S&S Tools was simply a windows wrapper for some scripts that automated a disjointed manual workflow.
Unix scripts
Back when that was a thing...
