Welcome to the new <b>moonweb.org</b> website. After <b>2 years</b> of part-time development, it is finally <b>here</b>.

## The Idea

Thank you for visiting our page. The idea behind moonweb.org is to build up <b>IT knowledge</b> and to <b>learn from each other</b>.
Since computer education in schools or colleges here in Germany isn't very comprehensive and often misses out on interesting aspects relevant to business life, we build up our IT knowledge through self-study.

## The Website

This page mostly describes <b>my life</b>, the <b>products I have developed</b>, and the <b>projects I have been part of</b>.
You can also find some general information about the person who played a <b>major role in my IT learning process</b>, Matthias. Together, we took our first steps in <b>computer programming in 1988</b> on an Atari STFM 1040, a great machine.

## The Person

Since there is no advertising on my homepage, you probably know who I am, so I will skip the
standard description of myself. If you want to know more about [me](/stefan/), write me an [email](mailto:who-are-you@moonweb.org).
I dislike personal websites and often wondered if anyone would actually use this page. I stopped
worrying about it :) and remembered the main reason I started this website: to document all the information
about my projects so I would never forget anything. That's all.

## The Future

... stay tuned

<b>Stefan</b>
