In my years of developing for the web, we have gone through many transitions.  I remember using the Photoshop splice tool to generate table based websites for me.  I remember moving the xHTML and CSS and developing static HTML sites in Dreamweaver.  I then used my first CMS, Textpattern and began to love the lack of redundancy that I gained by using a more intelligent system than Dreamweaver.  Soon after my short time with Textpattern, I moved on to developing in Expression Engine.  It was here that I developed my first love affair with a CMS.  I feel so empowered by the openess of Expression Engine.  I had developed mainly on EE for the past 4 or so years and I have loved it.

Recently, we have had more Drupal projects that have been coming in and this has given me the opportunity to work with Drupal 6.  I am currently leading a Drupal project for a Community College and it has been an adventure to say the least.  I was brought on to the project about halfway through it with absolutely no Drupal knowledge at all.
