\u00b7<\/font>        <\/span><\/span><\/span>How long have you been using VB?<\/font><\/font><\/b><\/p>\n

I jumped in with Access 1.0 in 1993 then converted a couple of apps from VB 1.0 to 3.0 in 1995 or so. Previously used the Microsoft Basic interpreter on the Altair 8800 which came on paper tape in 1975\/76.<\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font>        <\/span><\/span><\/span>What industry do you work in?<\/font><\/font><\/b><\/p>\n

Whichever  industry wants to pay my bills. Over the 15 years of having my own company have touched almost every industry.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font>        <\/span><\/span><\/span>How big is your development team?<\/font><\/font><\/b><\/p>\n

At one time grew to 20 but now there is just a couple of us plus whatever I work with at customers. Typically less than 5.<\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font>        <\/span><\/span><\/span>What kind of apps do you most commonly build?<\/font><\/font><\/b><\/p>\n

Mostly web applications and windows services to do back end automation<\/span>.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font>        <\/span><\/span><\/span>What\u2019s the most interesting app you\u2019ve ever built?<\/font><\/font><\/b><\/p>\n

I think the most interesting I worked on was a vision inspection system for a glass factory. They put in sand and a lot of heat at one end, extracted a continuous ribbon from a molten tin bath and then a multi-camera vision inspection system detected flaws in the glass sheet and controlled spray markers down the line to mark the defects which then determined where the sheet cuts would occur<\/span>.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font>        <\/span><\/span><\/span>Please tell us about an app that you\u2019re working on at the moment.<\/font><\/font><\/b><\/p>\n

Integration of a call center with a cloud based  dialer system via web services. Forcing myself to use Entity Framework to see what it’s limits are<\/span>.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font>        <\/span><\/span><\/span>What other technologies do you most commonly use?<\/font><\/font><\/b><\/p>\n

I live and breathe SQL server\u2026 Transact SQL is my second language<\/span>. <\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font>        <\/span><\/span><\/span>What are some of your favorite VB features?<\/font><\/font><\/b><\/p>\n

On occasion I have to use C# which is a fine language but I find the case sensitivity can easily lead to stupid errors that  just don’t happen in VB.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

I like the continuous compile, it makes tracking down errors very easy.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

IntelliSense is the best, it  makes searching through millions of combinations a breeze<\/span>.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7<\/font>        <\/span><\/span><\/span>What do you like most about VB as a programming language?<\/font><\/font><\/b><\/p>\n

With Visual Studio it’s just easy and simple to use with minimum hassle. I know I can start a new project and target any kind of application that can be written for Windows.<\/p>\n
