Professionally, I have been a software developer in C, C++, Java, and C# since 1992. My main focus is currently in C# and C++ application GUI development on the Windows platform. On my own (not work-related) I've done some game development in SDL.NET, and fiddle around with Torque Game Builder becuase of its cross-platform capability to Macs.

Current (Home) Projects:

• Budget Helper - Takes a different approach from other budgeting software. This project is based on an Excel spreadsheet I created and used for over 10 years. I am converting this to a C# Application.
• Adventures of Emma & Molly Game Series (small, quick, little games built using Torque Game Builder). (Not much is happening on this.)

Tutorials:

• Series on integrating C# technology into your legacy application:
  • Overview of C# integration
  • Preparing your project
  • Getting C++ and C# to interact
  • Adding C# dialogs
  • C# to C using Interop

• Using embedded Firebird.NET database with ADO.NET (C#). My initial work on this is over 1.5 years old and I think it will require me to make some updates to work properly with the latest version.

Ideas:

• Missionary game project - Most likely a top-down adventure type of game to help promote some missionaries from our church. The purpose is to have a fun game kids and adults can play and to help in remembering and praying for this family. The game is currently in a very early stage as I gather ideas. I am trying to focus on real issues and problems this family will encounter as they live in a remote tribal village. My current work with the Emma & Molly game is being used as groundwork to learn Torque Game Builder which I plan to use for this much larger project.

Favored Languages: I mainly program in C# and C++. For game stuff I fiddle around with Torque Game Builder and SDL.NET (C#).
