Art2  +  226247 Wed, 17 May 06 07:05 PM I am unsure if this sentence is using semicolons properly.  Any tips you can give me would be appreciated. While at University, my major was computer science.  I am familiar with the software development process; from requirements gathering, through design, implementation, testing, documentation, and maintenance; working both individually and in a group setting.

Thank you! Art I don't think so. A semi-colon is used in a sentence instead of 'and' or a full stop. A colon is often used to introduce a list.

	Art2  +  226733 Fri, 19 May 06 02:38 AM I don't think so. A semi-colon is used in a sentence instead of 'and' or a full stop. A colon is often used to introduce a list. It seemed like something was wrong with that sentence. Would "analysis" or "specification" be better than "requirements gathering", Art? I think that does sound better.  Thanks for your help everyone! -Art Art2 Colons
