About

Cumbria Crest I was born in Cumbria where I lived until going to University. After University I worked in the South of England for a number of companies, usually on military projects. This gave me experience in the full software lifecycle, using Yourdon Methodologies. Software was written in C and Assembler for Embedded Systems.

After a move to Derbyshire I spent some time spent renovating a country cottage. I then returned to Software using C#.

Software

Image I started using C# for Windows Form development using Databases. To publicise the work I created the uksoft and bizcraft websites on a platform supporting ASP.NET, allowing my C# experise to broaden. These have now moved on and earlier works are not shown.

  • Clear separation of concerns
  • Testability - support for Test-Driven Development
  • Fine-grained control over HTML and JavaScript
  • Intuitive URLs
