Using PostgreSQL in your C# (.NET) application (An introduction)

Born in Kielce, Poland in 1983
 
Back in the days i programmed C++ projects for pure fun. In 2000 i was administrator of one network with 128 kbit bandwidth to the internet. Since we couldnt afford Microsoft NT software for our server i dived into the fantastic world of FLOSS. I started interesting in security of computing and of course did some reasearch in that field. Later on i did few commercial projects in PHP and MySQL. Soon after that i drop MySQL in order to store my data in PostgreSQL. Did also few exec's of OpenGL + GLSL to know what my graphics card is capable of. Started C#( and generally went back to Windows programming) in early 2007 and feeling this trend will last for some time...
 
Since begining of 2010 i work as an independent contractor.
 
I specialize at C#, mostly in Win Forms. I have some knowledge of ASP.NET but so far i didnt have some exciting project in this technology.
 
Speaking of 3rd party components I have been with DevExpress and I recommend it, except of the productivity plugins which are in my humble opinion not so good, but You will find people that like them.
If You want good productivity plugin, use Jetbrains ReSharper.
 
I'm fan of TDD since early 2011.
