My articles for &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;ITWeb&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt; can be viewed &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.itweb.co.za/index.php?searchword=Gareth+van+Zyl&amp;ordering=&amp;searchphrase=all&amp;option=com_search"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;. Prior to working at the Johannesburg-based &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;ITWeb&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;, I was a technology journalist living and working in Dubai for four years. I moved to the United Arab Emirates in 2008 to work as the deputy editor of a PC and consumer electronics magazine called &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;WINDOWS Middle East&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;, printed by the Middle East’s largest publisher &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.itp.com/" title="ITP" target="_blank"&gt;ITP&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;. I also wrote widely for &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;ITP.net&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;, an online business technology portal focused on the Middle East: my articles are &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.itp.net/topics/authors/57-gareth-van-zyl" title="ITP.net" target="_blank"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;. In 2010, I then moved into to newspaper publishing, working for a Dubai-based daily tabloid &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;7DAYS&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;, where I was the web content manager and launched a section in that newspaper called ‘Tech Talk’. In mid-2011, I joined Abu Dhabi’s &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.thenational.ae/" title="The National" target="_blank"&gt;The National&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt; to work as their technology reporter on the business desk. You can read my articles for that paper by clicking &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.thenational.ae/featured-content/search?searchKey=gareth+van+zyl&amp;choice=true&amp;pageNumber=1" title="The National: Gareth van Zyl" target="_blank"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;. I also have a keen interest in developing websites, as I studied web design and web development at Unisa in addition to completing my BA Journalism degree at the University of Johannesburg. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://www.garethvanzyl.com/post/17415553541</link><guid>http://www.garethvanzyl.com/post/17415553541</guid><pubDate>Sat, 11 Feb 2012 09:16:00 +0200</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
