Bill Hansen

Since discovering the computer training industry in 1972, Bill Hansen has designed, developed, managed, edited, programmed, and/or served as the subject matter expert for over 400 courses. All but a handful have been self-study courses covering IBM software products. He recently donated 36 cases of training materials to the Living Computers: Museum + Lab in Seattle, Washington. The donated materials include all of the output of Hansen Training Systems, Inc. between 1980 and 1994. All output since 1994 consists of web-based courses covering IBM i, which are available through Manta Technologies. Still an acronym junkie, Hansen is trying to decide whether his next course will be on ACS, BRMS, or Db2.
