OK, after thinking about blogging for a while now, finally with the clocks going back one hour this Sunday 28th October 2007 creating enough free time, I plan to use the extra hour to set up a blog and make my first post.
The intention of the blog will be to record findings in my work that are of interest to me and perhaps to others. Those sorts of solutions to problems where, after many hours of deliberation you find an answer to a problem that you are satisfied with and need to record the outcome somewhere that is indexable and searchable – hence this blog.
Like most I trawl all over Google looking for answers to different problems and occasionally find the answers in a podcast or book. To my mind there is quite alot of white noise on the Internet at present, much to confuse the unwary and desperate and it is my aim to record my findings based on what has been tried and tested and that basically work for me.
This blog will have a heavy Microsoft .Net bias since that’s what I work with and will cover design and programming issues, patterns and practices, testing, documentation, etc. Any code samples will be in VB.Net as that is my preferred syntax. I will do a post on why I think I am being asked to standardise on C# in the near future.
So read on – hope this blog helps you demystify the noise!
