Steve Ward UK

Web Developer

United Kingdom

I'm a Technical Architect working for a fairly large retail company in the UK. I've been involved in the software industry for over 12 years now and started out writing compiled BASIC under DOS.

My current weapon of choice is C# and have been using it since late 2000 when it was still in Beta.

The last few years I've moved into a more hands off role but code is where it's at and I like to keep in touch with the latest developments by runing my own open source project and writing articles for CodeProject of course!
