NC,

Thanks for your thoughtful response!

Quoting you:
What about transaction processing? Have you done anything in this area
before?

I wrote a completely custom shopping cart / ordering system that
imports directly to the QuickBooks accounting package. Man, that took
a while :-)

I guess I'll have to ask which database engine they are using.

Quoting you:
You understand SSL very well.

Hmm. I know that it encrypts data as it travels over the Internet, and
should be used for all sensitive form submissions and all pages
containing sensitive information.
Do you have something more grandiose in mind?

Quoting you:
You have basic domain expertise in banking (i.e., you know what a
routing number is, etc.)

Hmm. I do know what a routing number is, but only because I set myself
up with PayPal. Not really that incredible.
I suspect this might be my weakness.

Do you have any suggestions for learning more on the subject?

Quoting you:
You should insist that the CU expressly indemnify you for any damage
caused by the software you write

Great thought! I will definitely do so.

This CU has ongoing programming needs. I don't have to get this
particular job. Are there any certifications you would recommend to
help me be a more attractive option in the future?

Matthew
