========================================================================
    CONSOLE APPLICATION : RemoteTimeReaderCLite Project Overview
========================================================================

AppWizard has created this RemoteTimeReaderCLite application for you.  

This file contains a summary of what you will find in each of the files that
make up your RemoteTimeReaderCLite application.


RemoteTimeReaderCLite.vcproj
    This is the main project file for VC++ projects generated using an Application Wizard. 
    It contains information about the version of Visual C++ that generated the file, and 
    information about the platforms, configurations, and project features selected with the
    Application Wizard.

RemoteTimeReaderCLite.cpp
    This is the main application source file.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Other standard files:

StdAfx.h, StdAfx.cpp
    These files are used to build a precompiled header (PCH) file
    named RemoteTimeReaderCLite.pch and a precompiled types file named StdAfx.obj.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Other notes:

AppWizard uses "TODO:" comments to indicate parts of the source code you
should add to or customize.

Doug graduated from Deakin University Geelong, Victoria, Australia with a Bachelor of Engineering.

Early in his career, Doug worked on an automated system for testing telephone lines. This system used a network of DEC PDP11s. The software was written in Oregon Pascal with an event driven structure. This early involvement in event driven structures proved to be an invaluable stepping stone into Windows programming some years latter.

Doug completed a Graduate Diploma in Education at La Trobe University to become a qualified secondary school Mathematics and Physics teacher. Subsequent IT contracts were with universities. One such contract was to add functionality to MSN Messenger.

In recent times Doug has been working on database and Android applications.
