Welcome! (still active in 2018 !)
Software projects, interesting links and resources, software-related book reviews, random thoughts about software development, and more. That's this web site!
After a full career in the software industry as a programmer, analyst, project manager and Director, I am now teaching programming to college freshmen. In my spare time I enjoy reading about, learning, designing, and writing software. Solving interesting problems and learning new coding techniques is never boring.
After a long career in software, I now think of myself as an artist who works in software. The creative process used in dreaming, designing, and creating software is very similar to any artist who works in paints, clay, or music. We start with nothing and create something that may or may not be enjoyed by others. We learn from our successes and our failures. We improve. We suffer for our art. I plan to continue creating software for as long as I'm able to and enjoy doing so.
I love to read clear and easily understandable code. I salute all the fantastic programmers who have come before me and those who are still coding.

Check out the software in My Software menu to see what I've written.
Check out my random thoughts about software development in the Random Thoughts menu item.
And when I run across an interesting book I review it in Book Reviews.
