About
Hi, I’m Scott, I’m a software consultant working from home in the woods of North Carolina, east coast of the USA. Many of my friends and family are probably amused by the fact that I have a blog, considering how horrible I am at responding to email. In reality, I write so much work-related email I just can’t bring myself to write more after work. This blog will hopefully offset some of the work email volume, as it will be focused on technical issues. I am hoping to post weekly; we’ll see how long that lasts. I’ve got two beautiful young daughters and a beautiful wife, all under the same roof as my office, so the odds are against me.
I have been developing software–predominantly web applications–professionally since 1998, and started out writing dynamic web sites as a lowly CS student circa 1994/1995, whenever it was they installed a beta version of Mosaic on the computers in the library near my dorm. During that time, I’ve written web apps in everything from Unix shell scripts to Tcl, Perl, C++, ASP, and more recently in PHP and ColdFusion. I’ve done some C, I’ve done some Java. For the past two years I have been working almost exclusively in .NET (still doing a little PHP on the side).
Some of my technology-agnostic interests over the past several years have been user interface design (including accessibility and usability) and web application security. However, upon moving from ColdFusion to .NET in 2006, I realized that I needed to have a better understanding of object-oriented design. I had a basic foundation of OO skills and knowledge from college, but after years of procedural programming, I have had a lot of learning, re-learning, and un-learning to do. This blog is intended to document that process.
About this site
This blog is powered by WordPress, using a bunch of plugins. The design is my own, but heavily based on the “fSpring widgets” theme. At least, I used it as a starting point.
