The ASP.NET Wiki was started by Scott Hanselman in February of 2008. The idea is that folks spend a lot of time trolling the blogs, googlinglive-searching for answers to common "How To" questions. There's piles of fantastic community-created and MSFT-created content out there, but if it's not found by a search engine and the right combination of keywords, it's often lost.

The ASP.NET Wiki articles moved to CodeProject in October 2013 and will live on, loved, protected and updated by the community.

I'm an old fart living on the bleeding edge of technology. Started off as a EE out of college and got into embedded programming back in the 80's for a while and then did my share of PC programming starting in the DOS days all the way up to using the latest stuff in .NET 4.0. I've been programming on and off for about 25 years now and continue to love figuring out problems and seeing things work and understanding the root causes for why we solve the same problems every year. Did my fair share of PM'ing and Management over the years, but mostly stick with programming because frankly, marketing people scare the heck out of me (much like clowns do).

I'm a huge advocate for solving systematic development problems with improved processes as opposed to re-factoring and/or throwing new technology at a problem and hoping for the best because some inexperienced kid tells us it's awesome. I'm the "old guy" who knows best because I've done everything a crap load of times using every new method out there and so I do know best.

My sincere hope is that some day our industry will stop re-inventing the same "wheels" in order to make a short sighted buck, and move towards a model of true innovation where software transcends the current fixed patterns we re-implement each and every day in an endless cycle. Is there life out there among the drones?

I enjoy fishing, camping, SCI-FI MMO's, Aquariums, shooting lizards with a BB-Gun and of course, eating food so spicy that it strips the lining off your colon.

I started at Infragistics in 2004 as a Developer Support Engineer, where I enjoyed being at the fore front of all the product lines, talking directly to customers, answering questions, solving simple and complex problems.

Then I joined our Evangelism department as a Technical Evangelist, where I travelled all over the world visiting customers, speaking with them face to face, talking about the product and technologies around. During the same period, I also did some consulting and training gigs. This was the time where I got to see Infragistics customers actually using the product within their applications and being able to help with their problems in real time.

In my current role as a Product Manager, I still do all of the above, but I am also responsible for setting the direction for our ASP.NET product. So, if you want to discuss anything regarding the ASP.NET toolset, please feel free to contact me: murtazaa@infragistics.com
