"When we met at my home, I discovered that Kerrin had exactly the skillset and patient mentoring personality that I was looking for and, over the last ten months of more or less weekly contacts, we have made quite phenomenal progress, from what, in my case, was very much a standing start, as I had no hands-on database or coding experience."
"Each time I made yet another request to improve the databases and/or the applications, Kerrin had the skills to 'make it happen'. Even when it was really very difficult indeed, he never once gave up, never once lost his temper and never once threatened to throw the towel in."
"What impressed me most of all was not just how Kerrin took up my challenge of learning MongoDB, a document-oriented NoSQL database program that he learned essentially 'just for me', but also how extraordinarily quickly he 'mastered it', at least as far as my immediate requirements went."
"The combination of TeamViewer and Skype has been a perfect method for bridging the just under 20-mile distance between where we both live: by using both of these two bits of free software at the same time, both of us have the ability of 'controlling the mouse' and, astonishingly, with no perceptible lag-effect either. This 'dual control of the mouse' actually makes distance-learning more efficient than sitting side-by-side."
