About
Are you looking for information that can inspire and motivate you to drive your business to greater heights? Tired of following the herd but never getting anywhere?
David Mercer
I provide unique and original content that is specifically designed to help you improve your business and working life. Through insights and thought leadership, I will help you to meet and exceed your business objectives.
I also happen to be one of the most experienced technical authors in the world today, having contributed to in excess of 30 technical titles published by many of the world's major publishers, translated into many of the world's major languages.
I have been working in IT ever since I spent a month (in the late nineties) dismantling various old computers in order to construct a Beowulf cluster high performance computing system. Memories of which haunt me to this day (that's a reflection of my hardware mangling abilities).
After co-authoring several successful books on any number of programming topics, including shell scripting and PHP, I became interested in business and its online implementations. My more recent books have focused on creating complete websites, through the use of platforms such as Wordpress and Drupal, to meet business objectives and drive online success.
When not writing I consult to various businesses and organizations and spend time tinkering with a number of interesting web projects. The latest being design-a-webpage.com, an Internet marketing cross web design hybrid service for the average person.
I founded Site prebuilder to help individuals and organizations fully leverage the power of the Internet. It has a dual mandate: to both educate and to alleviate the intellectual burden of entry into the online market.
I hold a cum laude science degree with a dual major in Applied Math and Math from the University of South Africa.
