Joining Dootrix
It's been a while since I posted. I'd like to say that's because a lot's been going on. In reality I got lazy and now I just happen to have something to write about that can make it sound like a lot has been going on.
.NET Web Development, you know you want to...
My first smashing coding article is now available! It's main aim is to convince people that .NET isn't all bad.
Should everyone learn to code?
It's not often I write opinion pieces but the whole 'learn to code' thing seems to have been building since the beginning of the year. It's time to add my voice to the squabble.
The Barn site is live!
For the last few weeks I've been pulling together the concept of 'The Barn'. Ostensibly it's a company blog, but to me it's a bit nicer than that.

WP7 vs iPhone
Ok so if you follow me on twitter you may know that towards the end of last year I took part in 'Alphalabs'. Organised by onedotzero this was a competition aimed at encouraging developers and artists to work together on the Lumia 800 platform.
Cargowire has a new design
Apparently doodling can be good for you. Although when I do it, it's not so good for Ed Merritt.
Why you should try to be a middle class developer

But anyway... don't worry. I'm not about to do anotherblogaboutxml.
Falling out of Kindle love
While reading a book the other day (C# in depth if you're interested... I'd recommend it to all you .net lovers out there.. yes you.. both of you) I suddenly realised something. I was holding a book.
