Well, I was born on a normal day in July, 1981 and have been creating chaos ever since. Born in North Carolina, but raised in the aftermath of the Soviet Union, Kazakhstan, I have been messing around with computers nearly my entire life. I wrote my first program in assembly when I was 11. In my early teens I ran a BBS connected to Fidonet and started building a website for my band. In 1999 I was introduced to Linux, and it was love at first compile. I started my career in IT in the early 2000's doing IT for a Car Dealership in Charlotte NC. I wrote my first major web app in Cold Fusion (an ecom app) at that time. In 2006 I left Charlotte and moved down to Columbia where starting working as a developer, freelancer and consultant. Currently I am working as a freelance developer and DevOps consultant!!


A Late Review of POSSCON

\n

Sorry for the late review…I’ve been very busy.  All and all it was a good time with the guys.  Some of the talks were good, others not so much.  I thought that the Developer’s track was not as good as it could have been.  They really only talked about three highly experimental open-source software languages.  The only talk that was really geared towards developing…language specific….was a talk on Open Source tools for C#…..C# WTF!!  When he started talking about C# and how it now implements MVC…I left.  MVC is a fairly old and tried and true development frameworks that has been used by Java and other programming languages for years….It’s recently been adopted by web-developers and is availible in Ruby on Rails, PHP and pretty much anything else….Microsoft is, as always, coming to the party a bit late here.  For a great review, check out my friend Ian’s blog
