I have been using C# as my language of choice since it's release with Visual Studio .NET in 2003. Prior to this I used Visual Foxpro (an early object orientated programming language and database system. Over 16 years I have used C# to develop numerous applications either or a free lance basis or as an contract programmer. I can also develop in Visual Basic.NET, though I prefer not to and have undertaken projects re-writing applications originally written in VB6 as well as Visual Foxpro.

I have been using WPF (and originally Silverlight) to develop client applications every since it's release. The WPF databinding model was like a breath of fresh air compared the clunky approach taken by Winforms. Most of my applications are written using the MVVM pattern and WPF is ideally suited to this with my views written as markup using XAML with minimal code in the code. Display logic goes into model view classes and the business logic is encapsulated in model classes. Data access code is generally placed in service classes.

Early in my career it was common to use Visual Foxpro as both the database and the application development tool. Following the launch of .NET I moved over to using SQL Server as my database of choice. Originally using ADO.NET to persist data and moving to Entity Framework when this became available. I consider myself a good relational database designer and a competent author of T-Sql scripts and stored procedures for all aspects of data management. I am able to create databases that are both efficient and secure.

The project brief was to design and develop a modern looking, responsive user interface using .NET and OLE automation to talk to an estimating engine developed in house by another team. This would replace an earlier user interface written in VB6 some years earlier. The final solution used a combination of Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), C# and VB.Net. The MVVM pattern was used through out with the OLE automation, printing etc. wrapped in service classes. During the project I was also responsible for mentoring an inhouse VB6 programmer to bring them up to speed with .NET.
