Dr. Liew holds a Bachelor Degree in Mathematics and a Master Degree in Management. In addition, he holds a Doctoral Degree in Business Administration from the University of South Australia.

In the 1970s, he started programming in many computer languages before the arrival of personal computers. Among the computer languages, he has mastered FORTRAN and BASIC.

In the 1980s, when Microsoft invented MS-DOS and later Windows, he began working with QBASIC. Microsoft shipped QBASIC free with MS-DOS and the earlier versions of Windows. He also worked with the QUICK BASIC compiler, a variant of QBASIC.

When Microsoft introduced Visual Basic in the 1990s, he shifted his interest to GUI-based Visual Basic programming and immediately fell in love with it. Since then, he has focused on learning and mastering VB programming while educating Visual Basic hobbyists and students around the globe through our website.
