English and German are welcom as project languages, for me. In some of the projects that I have been working on, English was the project language because of their international character. Not only the communication within the project team, but also the project documentation was written in English.

AspectJ

All database knowledge is to be understood as knowledge concerning the development of database applications, i.e. DB-Design and development, not the administration of these products.

In the following sections methodologies and products are listed
that I really worked with and that I really am experienced in.

I am conscious of the fact, that you are not looking for someone
who read an article about XML, but someone who knows about this
thechonology, about the pros and cons and who is able to advice
you whether to use it in a certain case, or not.

Hence, I categorized my experiences into two classes:

for low project experiences

+  for good knowledge and project experiences
++ for very good knowledge and high project experiences

As I am sure that you will not be interested in topics, that I have
no project expierience in, I didn't mention them here, at all.

Projects near Stuttgart are of primary interest for me, as they are
near to the location where I live. But this is not a must at all.

From a business point of view, I am interested most in projects
with focus on server based applications in the J2EE/Java/Web environment.
