I’m Mark Rendle and this is my blog.
I’m currently employed as Principal Software Architect at Dot Net Solutions Ltd, where we are creating all manner of software and services on the Microsoft stack, including ASP.NET MVC, Windows Azure, WPF and Silverlight. Since April 2011, I have been a Windows Azure Development MVP.
My career in software design and development spans three decades and more programming languages than I care to remember. C# has been my favourite language pretty much since the first public beta, when you had to write the code in a text editor and compile it on the command line. Those were the days. You kids today, with your IntelliSense™ and your ReSharpers, don’t know you’re born…
In my spare time, I work on the Simple.Data not-an-ORM project, and build developer-centric tools for mobile devices, including the award-winning Pocket C# for Windows Phone 7. That’s when I’m not just geeking out learning new programming languages and frameworks; 2011 is the year of JavaScript/CoffeeScript, F# and Nancy.
You can catch me talking at events and user groups around the UK. A list of my talks is available here; please contact me through the form here if you would like me to speak at your event or group.
