Dr. Gordon Russell is a Computing lecturer in Napier University, Scotland. He teaches databases, Linux, and networking. He also builds educational websites, concentrating on technology-driven online learning environments. These include db.grussell.org, whose claim-to-fame is its automatic checking of SQL assessments, and http: //linuxzoo.net, which offers online users root free access to Linux servers. But without database technology to support these sites, even he would be lost.
