Coding in assembly language at age 12 is never good.

It was 6502 on the Atari 800 (the 400 was terrible), from right down the road from me in Sunnyvale, CA. I should of been a game developer like I wanted to back then (grin).

If you know me you know I have spent many years on 'all things starting just after the view (except of course speaking to the need to contract-driven view interfaces and patterns like MVC/MVP). You think it is obvious now but try being tasked to help a VB6 team ASP.NET embrace it in the very early days of ASP.NET 1.0!

In the late 80s and 90s it was Client Server (actually I started in 1988 as a Novell Netware CNE). From the mid-late 90s till now it is all about the Domain, and Eric Evans owes me some commissions!

When .NET 3.0 came out something strange happened.....I got bit by the WPF bug....

So here I am an architect on a blog for people living in the view. Hopefully I can do both!

WPF, Silverlight, XAML and my shock at how much I can actually make 'pretty' stuff happen and still get paid in my day job.
