Welcome :)

Why?
Guy Burstein sounded very assertive when he tried to talk me into opening a blog when we last met at the Microsoft Developer Academy at the Cinema City.
So, after a quick correspondence with dear Mr Taguri (thanks for the quick replies even from Redmond), here it is :)

Who?
I teach Computer Science (B.Sc) courses in serverl academic institutes (MTA, IDC, HIT)
I Work as a technology and architecture advisor for IT companies (Orange/Partner, Intel, DGroup, SimiGon, Overwolf)
I Worked at SimiGon as a system architect for the past few years and currently working with Overwolf as the system architect and development lead.
I specialize in C#, .NET techonolgies, XNA and Software Engineering in general.

I wrote and published two text books:
- "Developing with .NET Technologies and C#" (Office-Depot / Diunon)
- "Developing 3D Computer Games with XNA" (Office-Depot / Diunon)

This is the list of courses I teach:
- "Developing with .NET Technologies and C#" (MTA)
- "Software Engineering and C#" (IDC)
- "Advanced OO Programing with .NET Technologies and C#" (HIT)
- "Practical Programming with Design Patterns and C# 3.0" (MTA)
- "Developing 3D Computer and Xbox360 Games with XNA" (MTA, HIT, IDC)
- "Object Oriented Programing using C++" (MTA)

What?
My main current interests and expertises are:

• Programming, Software Architecture, Design Patterns, SCRUM
  -
• .NET Technologies
  SimiGon's and Overwolf's products are developed in C#.NET
  
  -
• Developing 2D/3D Computer and Xbox360 Games with XNA
  
• Composite UI Application Block (CAB)
  • I created a comprehensive infrastructure and and wrapping layer over it for the use of SimiGon's main product UI infrastructure (already in use by our world-wide clients)
    
    -
  • I investigated the CAB, Smart Application Software Factory, and the Guidance Automation Extentions/Toolkit for over a year (since the early CTP days)
    -
• Microsoft Team Foundation Server (TFS) (2005, 2008, 2010)
  • As part of my work, I am in charge of maximizing the use of the TFS to help our development procedures and lifecycle.
  • I developed a complete alternative client for the TFS (with improved grid functionalities and filter options)
    
    -
• Visual Studio 2005, 2008, 2010

I hope to keep and post relevant and interesting stuff.
I also hope it will not kill too much of my (non) spare time J

Njoy!
