Since graduating from University (2006) I have been teaching my self C#. This started as something I did in my spare time after buying a couple of .NET and ASP.NET books. When I got the job at ACE I started to use these skills more regularly. Since then I have been involved in a few smaller projects, I have had to debug a number of programs, and have been the main systems tester for our main control and monitoring web applicatin.

My first project at ACE was a simple application that got me used to file interaction, thread safety (regarding the GUI) and the general use of the language. The project involved searching a file structure for X number of files and any files that reference them. The main purpose of this application was the removal of hundreds of crystal reports spread across 14 servers which had various naming themes and could be references in any number of INI or other text files.

The next project that I was involved in was the Autons Program. This project was a redeveloped project, its goal to replace an old REXX program with a more efficient and configurable application. This application was a console application that would run on the overnight batch run. It would need to be able to run various applications in a certain order and in different ways depending on the country in question. To read more about this application click here..
