About this blog
Taken from my first post.
Who?
I'm Nidonocu, or James to less interesting people. I was born and still exist in the UK. Now living specifically in Sheffield where I moved to attend Sheffield Hallam University for a networking foundation degree. While working on that, Microsoft released the Express editions of Visual Studio and from there I quickly found learning to write software in that to be a nice distraction from an informative but sometimes dull university course. ;)
Outside of coding I also enjoy playing Halo 3 and other titles on my Xbox 360 and Wii, writing the (or should that be an?) odd novel and drawing things.
What?
I started with Visual Basic.net, then moved on quickly to C# and Windows Forms. I'm now working with C# 3.0, .net 3.5 and of course the Windows Presentation Foundation. I've been working on a long term project of a MU* client which through the process of making it I've learnt a lot about the platform and software development and design in general. I'm also now building a kiosk style application for a convention with some interesting attributes and a deadline so that will likely grab most of my focus for the next couple of months.
When?
I hope I can post something interesting at least once a week. Far better to have something interesting and regular rather than lots of boring useless posts.
