Preparing for TechEd - The first post

I'm really excited. My first .NET blog!! I have one on my guitar website, obviously dealing with guitar related stuff but this marks my entry into the Software blogs world and the fact that I'm going to get this started with TechEd 2004 related posts makes it even more exciting for me.

So, what should I write here? Perhaps I should introduce myself. Here goes.

I'm a Technical Architect working with netdecisions, based in London, U.K. I have been working in ND for the past 5+ years and overall I've been in s/w development for nearly 8 years (started in September 96). Started my career with Ramco Systems in Chennai, India and moved to London in April 1999. I started out working with Visual C++ 1.52c (and actually did some development with the Windows SDK on Windows 3.1) and SQL Server 6.0. When I came to the U.K I focussed more on databases as there was no C++ related work and performed the role of Database Architect.

Over the past couple of years I've been moving up into a wider architectural role. But I won't bore you with the details now. Maybe later (;-)). Right now I'm all set for TechEd Europe 2004 and God willing, it should be a great time.

However, between now and then I'll keep posting the stuff I'm doing to get prepared for Tech Ed.

Hope to build up some good contacts here at DotNetJunkies among the bloggers, blog readers and any Tech Ed attendees from this site.

Cheers.
