Nelson Therrien has computer degrees in both multimedia and programming. He is an Adobe Certified Expert (ACE) with Dreamweaver and has many Brainbench certifications (HTML, XHTML, Dreamweaver, Flash, Web design, Photoshop).
Most of his time is spent teaching and developing web applications and dynamic forms. He is teaching at Eliquo, Canada's biggest Apple- and Adobe-authorized training center. He's responsible for everything that revolves around the Web at the Montreal office.
You would see his reference if you were to take a course on Dreamweaver, Flash, ActionScript, Flex, ColdFusion, HTML5, CSS3, XML, JavaScript, jQuery, PHP, LiveCycle Designer, or accessibility and standards on the Web. He has also touched on ASP, .NET, Java, SQL, Photoshop, Fireworks, and Illustrator.
He spoke at the launch of Adobe CS5 and CS5.5 in Canada as an Eliquo representative.
He is also the father of three young children aged between three and six.
As a way to relax, he's constantly reading and searching to improve his skills and knowledge, and he does find some time to play Canada's national game: hockey! He's a goaltender and coaches his two sons.
