About Frans Bouma's blog
Frans Bouma started programming in 1986 on a Toshiba
MSX-1, at the age of 16. After graduating with a bachelor degree in Computer
Science from the 'Hogeschool Enschede' in the Netherlands in 1994, he started
working with 4GL systems and post-relational databases, like uniVerse. In 1996
he founded Solutions Design, a company for database driven web-application
development. As the lead developer, he developed medium to large enterprise web
applications using SqlServer, AS400, COM+, VC++, Visual Basic and Asp. In 2001
Solution Design produced a content management system completely based on Microsoft
technologies like SqlServer 2000, COM+, VC++, VB6 and asp.
In 2002 Frans
developed in C# his first .NET application, the open source LLBLGen code
generator for SqlServer stored procedures and .NET classes. Due to the
worldwide success of LLBLGen, Frans designed and developed in 2003 for
Solutions Design the O/R mapper and code generator LLBLGen Pro, which is
currently one of the market-leading data-access solutions for .NET, C# and
VB.NET. Frans received for his community efforts the MVP reward for C# in 2004,
2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and works full time on LLBLGen Pro enhancements. In 2006,
HnD, a full featured support system/forum system for ASP.NET 2.0 was released
as open source (GPL), written and designed by Frans Bouma. In 2008, Frans released a full Linq provider for LLBLGen Pro in v2.6 of that O/R mapper. In 2010, v3.0 of LLBLGen Pro was released, which was followed in 2011 by LLBLGen Pro v3.1
