Sometimes you just need a smile. Like most, I have good, bad and terrible days, but I found something that makes me smile. Like a lot of developers, I have a few vendor stickers on my equipment.
My kids noticed this and thought I need more stickers. Oh – Oh! Is dad going to be upset? Nope! Continue reading Sometimes You Just Need a Smile

I very rarely, as tempting as it may be take an interview during business hours. You have to think about where your priorities lie and who currently employs you.

2014 was a great year and I look forward to great and wonderful things in 2015. The year was filled with lessons, opportunities and friends. I cannot say much was wrong with 2014.

I hope everyone has an awesome year and I hope to do coffee with some of you!
I would suggest starting with an empty project rather than letting Microsoft build you one. By you creating an empty project you are able to control what goes in it. The “Web Forms”template that Microsoft offers has so many files and structure that you would likely not even use.
