Leora Wenger has worked with computers all her adult life. She self-trained in web design and development, learning HTML, Perl/CGI, PHP, MySQL, Javascript, Flash and Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. Before the web, she did tech support and programming. While working at the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science, she learned more about computers (and computer scientists) than in the many computer classes she has taken. She has studied art at the Boston Museum School, Boston University School for the Arts and in other institutions.

She began her web career by designing a site for her son's school. She was soon getting requests for more sites! The award-winning website for the Highland Park Environmental Commission is one of her ongoing creations. She wrote an internationally-used homestay application script for a small New York-based business and coordinated translations of web pages into German, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, French and Spanish. She did web design and DHTML programming, including pull-down menus, for a startup company. She redesigned a website for the Rutgers University Anthropology Department that was online from 2002-2005. She developed a site for a neuropsychologist. She redesigned the Rutgers Bildner Center website and the site for the Department of Jewish Studies. For the past four years, she has put the Rutgers Jewish Film Festival online. The e-learning project for the Rutgers Bildner Center, Jewish Studies Online, is visited by users around the globe and now has free courses on the Bible and History and on the Israeli Political System. The redesign of the Highland Park Public Library site has received many enthusiastic reviews. She put online a site map for the accounting firm Wilkin & Guttenplan of East Brunswick, New Jersey.
