Interests
My programming Interests are:
-
VB.Net - My main area of programming, I have been working professionally in it since the original beta 2.
-
C# - I would like to get some professional experience working in C# but all the jobs I’ve had lately are in VB.Net!
-
ASP.Net - When I work on the web, it’s most often in ASP.Net, though I have worked in Flash and PHP. Like C#, I would like to get some professional experience in ASP.Net.
-
SQL Server - I’ve worked with several DBMS’ including MySQL and Oracle, but SQL Server is my favorite by far.
