Read MoreI just finished reading C# in Depth: What you need to master C# 2 and 3. Although the book is only 358 pages, it’s title is certainly not exaggerated.

Read MoreI’m not bragging (really, I’m not), I’m just posting information…about me…winning an award. Crap, that is bragging isn’t it. Oh well, the show must go on.
