DEVELOPERS! DEVELOPERS! DEVELOPERS! ... this site is dedicated to programming and building for the Interwebs. My musings, tips, tricks etc.

Questions

I've got 20+ years of programming experience using Microsoft as my core background. If you're having any issues or would like me to explain something please let me know by contacting me below.

Always Learning

In programming, you are always in school, learning and educating yourself on the next greatest thing. Fear not, learning keeps you on your toes and helps you build better software.

Keep Growing

The best way to keep growing is to write down everything you have learned so you can have it for later. My goal is to do that here and drop all my programming knowledge onto the world...Enjoy!

Feel free to ask any questions

Let us know what you think, want to see or any suggestions to make this community better.
