Welcome to my blog! I'm a Sr. Software Development Engineer in Seattle, WA. I've been doing C++/C#/Java development for over 18 years, but have definitely learned that there is always more to learn!

C#/.NET Little Wonders: Extension Methods Demystified
Once again, in this series of posts I look at the parts of the .NET Framework that may seem trivial, but can help improve your code by making it easier to write and maintain. The index of all my past little wonders posts can be found here. I have had the pleasure to program in a variety of programming languages throughout the years including the trifecta of C++, Java, and C#. It's often interesting how these three languages are so similar and yet have such key differences as well. Each of them has ......

So very nearly finished... please stand by...
You folks have been so patient waiting for new material and I'm very grateful for that. I do have new things to write about, but wrapping up the move to Seattle has been very time-consuming! Yesterday, we finally got delivery of our goods from the moving van line and have begun the task of setting things up and assessing any damage/missing items, etc. Nothing major, just time consuming to check over everything. So again, I still think I'm on track to resume regular blogging every other week once ......

So much in motion!
Thanks for all your patience during my move to a new job and a new area. I've been settling into my new position here at Amazon in Seattle and am loving every minute of it so far! Unfortunately, there's still a lot of life and work juggling at the moment. The whole team is changing to a new building this week and moving out of corporate housing and into our own apartment next week.

A Change of Seasons...
As some of you already know, today is my last day at Scottrade. It has been a great place to work and I'll miss all the relationships I've formed over the last 5 years immensely! Starting Monday, I will be taking a new position at Amazon.com in Seattle. It should be an exciting new adventure and I look forward to sharing more about my experiences in the days to come! I do intend to continue blogging (after the move settles down) about C# as I'm able, and may mix in some Java as well as I rekindle ......

Visual Studio Little Wonders: Quick Launch / Quick Access
Once again, in this series of posts I look at features of Visual Studio that may seem trivial, but can help improve your efficiency as a developer. The index of all my past little wonders posts can be found here. Well, my friends, this post will be a bit short because I’m in the middle of a bit of a move at the moment. But, that said, I didn’t want to let the blog go completely silent this week, so I decided to add another Little Wonder to the list for the Visual Studio IDE. How often have you wanted ......
