<\/span><\/p>\n

·<\/span>        <\/span>What’s the most interesting app you’ve ever built?<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

I always develop something interesting and technologically challenging.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

·<\/span>        <\/span>Please tell us about an app that you’re working on at the moment.<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

I’m currently working on Go Green (Paperless) BPM solution for one of the leading Insurance companies in the US to enable them to get some of their core underwriting and policy administration work done from any number of geographically locations (offshoring).<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

·<\/span>        <\/span>What do you like most about VB as a programming language?<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

It’s simple, powerful, has full Intellisense Support, and is forgiving if you make mistakes. I also like the native scripting support using VB for customization in all Microsoft Products. New features are always introduced in VB ahead of the other languages. <\/font><\/span><\/p>\n
