Hi, my name is...

Jean-Paul S. Boodhoo

I have been developing software professionally for the last 8 years, and more specifically, I have been working with the .NET Framework since Beta 1 of .NET 1.0. I feel blessed to have been able to enter a profession that I love, and I love being able to share my enthusiasm and knowledge with other people. This has led me to write articles for Visual Studio magazine, DevX, CODE magazine, and MSDN that demonstrate how to pragmatically build applications using C# and the .NET framework.

This site is as an outlet for me to share my thoughts, opinions, and suggestions about software development, training, and consulting.

Over the course of my development career I have spent most of my time in the Microsoft world. Yet, I am considered, to have viewpoints that are very contrary to the typical Microsoft viewpoints on application development. I have made it one of my personal missions to share information that is definitely not common place in the Microsoft world right now. Information that I feel can help developers reach a new level of enjoyment and satisfaction while coding using Microsoft technologies, in particular with the .NET Framework.
