Shalom, it's me Jacob Maldonado Nofziger.

I like computers, music, and good company. My parents have encouraged me to pursue a career in technology since my youth. They would set up restricted schedules on computer time so that I would learn to crave the computer even more. They would hide the modem so that I'd learn to configure a flash game so that I could play it offline. It all started there. Thanks Mom and Dad.

I strive to improve my skills outside of work. I have recently started tracking those projects on github.

Caesar Encryption App

Submitting the form with a rotation integer and message results in the encrypted text being displayed. For example, rotating "The crow flies at midnight!" by 13 gives "Gur pebj syvrf ng zvqavtug!".
Rotation preserves spaces and punctuation.
Successively rotating by complementary amounts--e.g. 13 and 13, 10 and 16, 4 and 22, etc.--gives the same message that you started with.
