&lt;P&gt;You will probably be asking who I am?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;My name is Doug Holland, and I've been a C# MVP now since January 2006 although I've been using the C# programming language since it was in Beta testing prior to its first release with Visual Studio .NET 2002. I attended the MSc program&amp;nbsp;in&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="http://www.softeng.ox.ac.uk/"&gt;Software Engineering&lt;/A&gt; at the &lt;A href="http://www.ox.ac.uk/"&gt;University of Oxford&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;although I live and work in Sacramento CA. Presently I'm working as a .NET architect for a small e-government project which is being implemented using Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005. Primarily this project is a Smart Client used by users within that agencies Windows 2003 domain however there is also a web-based presence available for their clients.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I'll be posting some entries in the next few days although I'm unsure at present on what they will involve, some possibilities though are the &lt;A href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/future/linq/"&gt;Microsoft LINQ project&lt;/A&gt; or the Microsoft SQL Server SMO libraries.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://msmvps.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=84418" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://msmvps.com/blogs/cdistilled/archive/tags/Welcome/default.aspx">Welcome</category></item></channel></rss>
