Welcome

Hi, my name is Adam. I created this website to share things with others, namely someone like you. I’m passionate about technology, programming, and community. My blog a way to combine the three. Through sharing relevant programming and tech articles, ideas, and demos, everyone is challenged to think differently and grow stronger in their careers and interests.

I want this to be a place you bookmark and check frequently. I try to update often and would love for you to join the conversation.

I Write About

Programming

Programming may seem extremely daunting to a beginner. With so many different languages, it’s hard to know which to choose and where to start. I’ve worked with many different languages: C#, PowerShell, JavaScript, Objective C, Ruby, and Python. Through the process of learning them, the most important takeaway I’d like to share with you is this: as long as you understand the fundamental concepts of programming, it ultimately doesn’t matter which language you choose to be proficient in. There are notable differences but, with a solid grasp of the basics, they all become easy to pick up.

Software Engineering

Programming is just one piece of the larger puzzle that is software engineering. The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) also includes activities such as requirements, design, and testing. But, it’s not just the activities themselves that are important. Understanding the way the various stages of the SDLC interact with and feed into one another is also crucial to running a successful project. Here on my blog, you’ll find many posts discussing these intricacies.

Technology

Outside of programming and software engineering, I have a great passion for technology in general. I work with virtualization architects, so I also wind up writing quite a lot about Windows administration and the tools we use to manage virtual environments. From the Raspberry Pi to the Internet of Things, you’ll read about it here on my blog.

Cloud

The Cloud is a natural extension of virtualization so, not surprisingly, I do a lot of that, too. Cloud concepts are still pretty new, and very powerful. There is so much to explore there as we use it to revolutionize our industry.

Soft Skills

You might be surprised to read that software engineering can involve interpersonal interactions. The complete software development cycle includes requirements gathering, and that involves in-depth Q&A with stakeholders. In my career, I’ve also spent a lot of time as a client-facing resource. Through these experiences I’ve learned a bit about the soft skills that we need to apply in business. Sometimes I’ll write about an interesting observation I’ve had in this field.
