Microsoft ASP.NET
I have worked with Microsoft ASP.NET since its initial release and have gained a lot of experience with this technology over the last 6 years. In 2005 I became a Microsoft Certified Applications Developer for the .NET framework.
I have experience with both C# and VB.NET languages and whilst C# is my preferred choice, I have spent 2 years working mostly in VB.NET so I am comfortable using either language. read more
