My name is Tom Miller. I have been wondering all over the Web looking for BA forums that are not buried in spam like several on Yahoo seem to be.

I am not actually a BA, but might qualify as a wannabe. As a career-re-changer I am trying to get back into programming after decades of mostly not doing it. And since I was, at best, an adequate programmer (back in the days of procedural languages) I am looking at leveraging my experience to work further forward in the chain of IT solutions.

I started the process by attending a PMP/Capm review at the Kansas City (USA) Chapter of the PMI. I am currently renewing my acquaintance with SAS base while I study C# Asp .Net. I am hoping to use these to move out of my current blue collar job and back into an office. I work maybe 50-60 hours a week in a road-warrior type job.  This makes it hard to approach my study and programming with an unfatigued mind.

My efforts include: www.ChatNFiles.com, bccs.chatnfiles.com (my dba business website) and profiles on things like www.linkedin.com/in/tlgalenson I expect to be stumbling around both the specific knowledge areas and the jobs forums.

Thank you for your attention.
