First, I want to thank all the geeks and visionaries for the pace of development and innovation in the Software Industry. Thanks to all the moderators, contributors, and developers for all the questions (including the very stupid ones!) and answers provided in dev forums. And also thanks to Google and Yahoo! (is MSN still in Search? ) for making my life very easy. As a .NET Developer, search engines have become an indispensable tool in my arsenal. The myriad blogs, forums, and API documentation indexed for easy access over the years have definitely made life a lot easier. For the longest, I've been at the receiving end, merely leaching and consuming all the helpful tutorials on obscure software problems and never contributing anything.

That's all about to change. Henceforth, I'll make a conscious effort to write helpful tutorials and provide sample code for problems that I encounter that may be helpful to other. You can expect to read about the .NET Framework, ASP.NET, SQL Server, UI Design, and Software Engineering (Patterns and Best Practices) on this blog. You can also check out my favorite blogs.
