Area 51 » Jason Down

A golf fanatic trapped in a programming career (which I quite enjoy, mind you).

For my employer I mainly develop C# (desktop and mobile applications), Progress 4GL and (recently) C/AL (Client/server Application Language) for Dynamics NAV. I'm now writing iPhone/iPad and Android applications for my employer as well (as time permits).

Outside of work I have dabbled in Lisp, Perl, C, F# and most recently I've become interested in Clojure (and ClojureCLR).

Check out the top 100 users in a given tag (helpful for learning interesting things about tags you are interested in).

Interesting books I'd recommend:

• Dependency Injection in .Net (I'd say this is required reading for any .Net (or even Object Oriented) programmer).
• The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development
• Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software
• The Annotated Turing - A Guided Tour Through Alan Turing's Historic Paper on Computability and the Turing Machine
• Seven Languages in Seven Weeks
