I am an Evolutionary Geek who came up from the world of WordPerfect 5.1 and Lotus 123 macros, to Microsoft Access databases, to MS Access / VB / SQL Server Applications, to VisualBasic.Net, and, eventually, to C#.
(I also dabbled in AS/400 programming when I needed to get data for a VB screen, Java programming when the company I worked for decided to switch from MS tools to Java tools [I no longer work there], and I learned enough C++ in the late 80’s to know I NEVER want to code in C++.)
I have created and taught classes in the use of Microsoft Office, Access, VB, VB.Net and C#.
I started this blog in an effort to document some of the cobbling together of bits and pieces that were necessary when building a Java solution. I now continue this blog as I cobble together bits and pieces that are necessary when building a MS solution using a whole stack of technologies, including: MS Silverlight, MS Prism, Ideablade DevForce, DevArt dotConnect, MS Entity Framework, MS Enterprise Library, Oracle (I know, I know, I wish it were MS SQL Server too), and a bunch of other stuff I am sure I have already forgotten.
Hopefully, this blog will help one or two of you to smooth out the dent in your forehead and wipe the sweat off your monitor.
