About Denny Dot Net
My name is Denny Ferrassoli (aka DennyDotNet) and I'm a developer in the entertainment industry located in Los Angeles, CA. I've been programming since I was 13 years old. I started programming in Visual Basic 3.0 making silly "helper" apps for America Online. Shortly after, I started programming websites by using Perl and the good old cgi-bin. Ever since then I've been building dynamic websites for various clients. I also ran my own consulting business for a few years.
I started using Classic ASP (as it's called now) and used it for many years. When ASP.NET came along I was hesitant to upgrade. I moved to a new job and was interviewed for a Classic ASP position. Shortly after being hired I was told it was actually an ASP.NET/VB.NET position. I didn't want to lose the position so I picked up a bunch of books and literally learned ASP.NET in about a week (at least well enough to function). I've continued learning ever since.
A few years ago, after changing jobs once again, I decided to move towards C#. And so here I am... Programming websites is my passion, my hobby and my full time job. I created my blog to assist others in learning and sharing knowledge. I hope that I can help people overcome programming challenges while learning new things myself.
I'm very interested in ASP.NET / C# / JavaScript / ASP.NET MVC and Web Services. I use jQuery extensively for client interaction. I'm currently working on a personal project called StickTo (www.stickto.us).
I have a wonderful wife, a one year old and another one in the oven... due June 2009 :)
