Experience, more than collected memories
Around the world
JGJ has been involved with the internet from the very beginning.
In the second half of the 80’s, when it was still called Eunet and no websites existed yet,
he already used email, ftp and news groups to communicate with persons with similar interests all over the world.
Since then, he's kept up with all new developments:
Early 90’s, the first (simple) websites appeared and JGJ immediately joined in on this new sensation
and left others amazed by the many possibilities.
His programming knowledge gave him an advantage by using JavaScript.
This made his websites more and more dynamic.
In the mid 90’s, the first web shops emerged from America,
however payments remained a utopia in Europe for a long time as the banks didn’t believe in it.
By means of a link via Scotland, JGJ (together with few other web shop fanatics) already build web shops
that allowed payments by credit cards from 1997 onwards.
Only in this century did it slowly become possible to pay online everywhere in Western Europe.
National initiatives also slowly emerged, of which the Dutch iDeal (started in 2005) is a very good example
– mainly because more and more banks in the Netherlands participated in this.
Of course, JGJ also fully went along with this and provided many web shops with iDeal options.
From the end of the last century, there was an increasing need for websites
where people could log in and keep track of personal or company affairs.
Initially these were called web portals, but this was increasingly adopted by the name web applications.
JGJ has also collaborated on or even designed many web applications.
Whether these were on a company's internal network or positioned in the cloud.
