(We\u2019re using the term \u201ccomputer\u201d loosely here, it was a TRS-80 Model 1) Since then his life has never been the same. He graduated from TRS-80s to Commodores and eventually to IBM PCs.For the past 15 years Cal has worked with PHP and MySQL on Linux, OSX, and Windows. He has built a variety of projects ranging in size from simple web pages to multi-million dollar web applications.<\/p>\n<p>When not banging his head on his monitor, attempting a blood sacrifice to get a particular piece of code working, he enjoys building and managing development teams using his widely imitated but never patented management style of \u201cmanagement by wandering around\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>These days, when not working with PHP, Cal can be found working on a variety of projects like Day Camp 4 Developers. He gives motivational talks to developers around the world. If you happen to meet him at a conference, don\u2019t be afraid to buy him a shot of Rum.<\/p>\n<p>Cal is based in West Palm Beach, FL \u2013 US where he is happily married to wife 1.36, the lovely and talented Kathy. Together they have 2 wonderful kids who were both smart enough not to pursue a job in IT.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"ii4wMLCEWL\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/calevans.com\/\">Home Page<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Home Page&#8221; &#8212; Cal Evans\" src=\"https:\/\/calevans.com\/embed\/#?secret=9FbRP0LgQU#?secret=ii4wMLCEWL\" data-secret=\"ii4wMLCEWL\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>TW: calevans<br \/>\nIG: cal_evans<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/linkedin.com\/in\/calevans<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many moons ago, at the tender age of 14, Cal touched his first computer.
