My name is Mike Plate and this is my blog. I’ve been a software developer all of my professional life. Born in 1969 I’ve seen the rise of the PC, Microsoft and Windows in which environment I’ve spent most of my time during the years. I’ve developed applications since the MS-DOS days but nowadays I feel that my home is in Microsoft.NET and C#.

Having a home doesn’t mean that I don’t like to travel, and therefore I’m interested in other technologies outside the Microsoft world. At the moment this means a little php and a little more of Java and the Android platform for mobile phones.

But what I do best, and have the most experience with, is ASP.NET, JavaScript, MSSQL and building web solutions on those technologies.

This blog will serve the following purposes:

• Share what I know and find with the community and anyone interested
• Build a resume of what I do and know for future customers and/or employers
• Remember things I’ve done or found out, for my own sake (bad memory)

At the moment I work as a freelance developer here in Sweden.
