First Post
Hello, This is my first blog tracking my development experiences using .Net, usually using C# but sometimes VB.Net. So let me tell a little about myself:
One of my current projects is OpenSmtp.Net (http://sourceforge.net/projects/opensmtp-net/), an open source C# mail component that extends the .Net framework. Starting the project in Feb 2001, it has allowed me to learn C# and the .Net framework while also contributing to the development community. Many people have contributed suggestions, enhancements, and bug fixes and I have recently added a new team member, Jason Kirkpatrick, another C# programmer and close friend. It has gained popularity over time with total downloads currently around the 5500 mark. If you find the framework mail classes lacking, feel free to download OpenSmtp.Net.
I have also written a few articles on the web, most are at: http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/webtech/ian.shtml.
I have 6 years of programming experience and currently contract for a large IT corporation doing both QA and Software Development in government and health care industries.
