Years with company: 0

Years programming: 25

Primary programming language: C#

Other programming languages: PHP, JavaScript, C, Java

Unit test harnesses: PHPUnit, JUnit, C#'s Built in Unit Testing

Something else: I don't have a lot of embedded experience. Some Assembly 20 years ago, a lot of Arduino lately, some C here and there on Linux. Lots of higher level development experience. Doing some work with the FTDI Vinculum 2, Company product built on PIC chips.

Test practice now: Test my code??! What! :)

Target system: PIC32, and possibly ARM in the future.

Dev tools: Eclipse

Build time: 11-30 seconds

Coding standard: It's pretty strict

Function too long: If you can't look at it and understand what it does after a read through.

Code reviews: Currently informal, but moving to Mercurial so they can be more formal.

Code time: 70%

Test time: 10%

Debug time: 20%

Favorite thing about dev: Solving Problems and making cool stuff.

Least favorite thing about dev: Poor Documentation...

Tdd knowledge: I've fully embraced it at other jobs, and am a convert of it, just not familiar enough with the tools in C# and C to go back to it at the moment.

Why are you attending: My Boss (Jason Smith, also attending) has hopes and dreams of turning me into an Embedded developer so that he can just hire a new C# developer instead of trying to find a good Embedded developer.
