AJ’s blog

Englischsprachiger Blog zu Softwareentwickungsthemen mit Technologieschwerpunkten .NET, C#, ASP.NET und Silverlight. Neben rein technischen Fakten beschäftige ich mich auch damit, wie Technologien am sinnvollsten im Rahmen von Software Architektur und Entwicklungsprojekt einzusetzen sind.
