Links and Hints and Tips, Oh My!

Why, it's a link: Introduction to C# Threading. Could this be some hint as to a new project I'm going to be working on in the next little while? Probably, although as far as hints go, it's pretty vague.

That said, the link above is a great starting point for information on threading in C#. Thankfully, the techniques used for threading in .NET are very similar to the techniques used in Java, which I have experience in.

Welcome

Hello, and welcome to the VentureSteps Inc. weblog! I know, it's taken a long time to get this weblog up. I went through and evaluated a large number of blogging tools and engines out there, including open source, free, and commercial solutions. In the end, despite the fact that it only support a single weblog feed technology (namely ATOM), I've decided to use Blogger, because I already had an account created, blogger integrated well into the VentureSteps Inc. web site, and it's free. All good things.

If you're new to this whole weblog thing (and I know some of you looking at this are), I recomend grabbing the feed for this weblog, and checking out SharpReader or GreatNews. Both of them are great desktop-based weblog feed readers.

Anyway, there are a lot of things planned for the near future, and I hope to share them with you very soon.

Web Projects

We strongly believe in giving back to the community, and over the next few months we will be involved in a project developing a large community website for a non-profit organization. This project will involve customizing an existing open source software product for use by a large, diverse group of people.
