I am an experienced software architect/developer living in Melbourne, Australia.I am passionate about pragmatic architecture and solution design, solid development practices and code quality in enterprise development teams.
I am working on distributed systems and SOA (using WCF), legacy integration and modernisation, defining a .Net technology roadmap, application lifecycle management using TFS in my day job.
I started programming in C++ before moving on to C# about 6 years back and loving the language and .Net framework since then.
I am interested to learn from others and trying to share with the community interesting knowledge and information that I come across.

What does a “bodyshop” (in context of a programming job /environment) mean @jfrankcarr - I have also worked for 12+ years and except while I was a contractor I have been given paid training, courses, conferences to improve my skills. If people don't improve their quality of work won't improve as also the soft skills. Good managers would recognize that. |

Should experienced programmers know database queries? @dietbuddha Not knowing assembly language because you use a C++ compiler.Heck even not knowing IL because you use a C# compiler. Where do you draw the line with this logic. My point is that abstraction is there is many places when we program in daily life and penetrating that abstraction i s not necessary or even desirable for most programmers. |

Should experienced programmers know database queries? My development team has dedicated PL/SQL programmers as part of the project. So while the .Net programmers can do simple queries they are there to review it and develop the more complex queries. Moreover with proliferation of ORM (and NOSQL) why do you think non-SQL developers must know complex queries. |

Managing re-usable code in user-centric agile stories? Is UX people part of development team ? I thought UX people would mockup screens for stories (in balsamiq or photoshop etc.) and dev team is to implement the mockups. I mean stories should have screen mockups. Or a new story should be created that says "create a mockup for .." if it is to be done by development team. |
