My name is Pete Shearer. I am a professional software developer with over a decade of experience. I started working with VBA, then VB6 – earning my MCSD, on to classic ASP with VBScript, and now C# and ASP.Net. I mostly use Sql Server 2005 for back end development (though this blog is hosted using MySql – hey, I’m practical).
I’ve worked for banks, hospitals, consulting companies, a small software development company, and now a health care services company.
Technologies that I’m working with currently include ASP.Net MVC 2, ASP.Net Web Forms, Windows Communication Foundation, jQuery, jQuery UI, Sql Server 2005, Sql Server Reporting Services, Sql Server Integration Services, Microsoft Dynamics GP, and AJAX (using both Update Panels – boo – and jQuery to make “true” calls) as well as HTML and CSS (naturally…I am not a drag-and-drop developer).
Yes, my blog title is a blatant ripoff of Joel on Software, but I consider it more of an homage!

I am married, have 3 kids, and live in Ohio. GO BUCKS!!!
