Programming software

Programming all started with Pascal that led to Dephi then on to being a .NET developer. I've been working with .NET since its first release. On a daily basis I work on a diverse set of projects, involving many of the areas of .NET, spread between Winforms / WPF / ASP.NET / XSLT / XML / embedded .NET Microframework / Team Foundation Server / WCF and more, see my Linked In profile for more info.

I have also worked with the Mirosoft Dynamics GP ERP system since around year 2000, developing and integrating using various techniques, including eConnect and Visual Studio Tools.

This site is mostly blogging on .NET and Mircosoft Dynamics products.

Another passion is for Microsoft SQL server and writing TSQL, including advanced complex Reporting Services reports, SQL Administration, Query Tuning, Replication etc.
