My career has been spent designing and writing software and I see my role as guide to pass on this experience and technical knowledge, simplifying and illustrating complex topics. I have a great love of creating as well as playing games and poker, so expect to see some aspects of that reflected in the code that I write and publish here. There is a vast wealth of information on the web and I will be reviewing, compiling and collating links to the best sites as well as reviewing the latest tools and books for software development.
