Recently, Joe
Stagner contacted me and asked if I would like a blog here at weblogs.asp.net.
He didn't have to ask twice, as I have always been an avid reader of
weblogs.asp.net. I would first like to introduce myself and then explain what I
will be trying to accomplish here at weblogs.asp.net.
My name is
Blake Niemyjski and I am currently twenty years old. My birthday is October 16th.
I started programming as a hobby about 9 years ago, when I dived deep into Unix
Scripting and Basic. I quickly moved on up the ladder to greater things at the
time like; VB6, then later on VB.Net. After coding in VB.Net for a while I
thought it was time to step it up and made the switch to C#. For those of you
who are wondering if you should make the switch, I'll just say that I have
never looked back and am extremely happy with C#. Over the course of the last 3
years, I have continued learning other languages, as it is always wise to leave
your options open. These languages are: Java, C++, and ASM (and a few various
other languages).
Many of you
don't know who I am. If you follow Telligent, Extended64 or windowscoding.com,
then you more than likely have come into contact with me. Below are three blogs
that I operate.
- Extended64.com (64 Bit Computing)
- windowscoding.com (my website, Development on the windows platform)
- Telliterns.com (Telligent Systems Internship
Program).
This past
summer I spent the summer down in Texas working as an intern at Telligent
Systems, Inc. I was on the product team responsible for designing and
implementing the new and upcoming product Community Server Enterprise
Reporting. It's a pretty cool application that allows you to view your
communities' health, and various other statistics. You can view the live demo
here.
Over the
next couple of months my goal here on weblogs.asp.net will be to inform others
on the following topics:
-
Design strategies
-
Best practices
-
Tips and tricks
-
My Experiences
Please feel
free to give me feedback through comments or private messages.
Thanks
