  for the Windows platform. Acquired experience with C programming
  and COM integration using the Python programming language.

  A quote from Oxfam America:
  (source: http://plone.org/news/oxfamamerica_pressrelease/)

  A primary goal of the site was to implement a system that could
  scale to meet Oxfam’s growing organization and donor base for years to
  come. When the Tsunami crisis occurred, the system was put to the
  test. “In the course of ten days during the Tsunami crisis, Oxfam had
  almost half of its typical yearly visits, and almost 1/3 of its yearly
  bandwidth - the system performed beautifully”, said Internet Manager
  Nicholas Rabinowitz. “Our public website offered timely, critical
  content to our users, while providing a solid gateway to our online
  donation system.”
