Jeff has worked with personal computers since the late seventies, when he learned to program BASIC on an Apple II (not an Apple II Plus, mind you). Since then, he’s learned Pascal, Fortran and VB/VB.NET – all of which have been enough to show him that he’s not a born developer, but he can play one on TV, so to speak. He's working to make The Code Project even more valuable to community members and help bring new services online to make The Code Project even better.
 
Jeff has worked with developers and developer communities for over a decade.
 
All things considered, he'd rather be cycling.

NewsInteresting article about Microsoft's investment in Developers Pin
Tuesday, May 20, 2008 11:54 AM
Interesting article that ends with a reminder of developers' importance:
Remember “embrace and extend?” That refers to programming, not networking or hardware. What about the famous Steve Ballmer “monkey boy” dance? He was chanting “developers, developers, developers!” not “networking engineers and system administrators!” Let’s get some perspective folks. We’re the programmers. At the end of the day, the entire IT industry must be focused around catering to us, and we ultimately (and hopefully) serve the end user. It’s simple, really — we’re the only ones who are trying to directly meet the end users’ goals. Everything else simply supports that. A PC without software is useless. A network without bits flowing over it is useless. But we can write software for any platform that can communicate over any network and, for a while, we didn’t need networks. It is development in software that drives the deployment of new hardware and new networks, not the availability of enabling new software. The user doesn’t care if you are using a PowerPC or an x86 CPU — they care about running the apps they want. Ditto for networking technologies.
 
Microsoft’s really big bets are in development tools and not the OS or the hardware.

GeneralPreparing for Microsoft TechEd Developers - Orlando [modified] Pin
Wednesday, May 14, 2008 4:22 PM
We're getting ready for TechEd in Orlando. We'll be there the Developers week -- come by and see us in our booth (#1111). We will (hopefully) have some news for you and (also hopefully) some tchotchkes (freebies). (Boy, Firefox spell check did NOT like that word.)

GeneralAt JavaOne Pin

We're having a great time in the exhibit hall here. Stop by booth #536, say "hello," get a CP tag and you could win a free Java or LAMP book. And if you're not here, well, just send kind thoughts. Smile | :)

GeneralBut it's not blogging, it's communicating Pin
Monday, April 28, 2008 5:19 AM
For at least a few years, I've complained about the word "blog." I understand how it fits a purpose, but it's basically the same thing people have been doing for a long time, made easier. It's sending an email newsletter to friends, it's creating a personal web page using Front Page; it's simply a further democratization of electronic communication tools.
 
Sun's Jonathan Schwartz said something similar last week (http://www.webware.com/8301-1_109-9928920-2.html[^]:
At some point the word 'blogging' will be anachronistic," Schwartz said at the Web 2.0 Expo here in San Francisco. "I communicate."
 
So, I'll post some information here, but as a long-time publisher, just don't call it blogging. Smile | :)
