John Herrell's Little Coding Corner

Well, here it is, my own little coding corner on the internet. I have not yet created much content, but plan to use this area to showcase tips, techniques, and actual code that I write. Now, as a Sr. Software Engineer with 14 years of experience, I am often asked to develop in a variety of platforms, so this section will probably not just focus on Microsoft based development.

Code Conversion Utility in Tools & Utilities

Sometimes it is handy to have a little utility to convert code from one language to another. So, using SharpDevelop's NRefactory to perform the conversion, I can convert code back and forth between C#, VB.NET, and Boo. Right now, this utility is not done to my standards, but I am making it available nonetheless. The tool is listed to the right under Tools & Utilities. Code Conversion Utility

Gaming, yes gaming deserves a spot here

Game programming has always interested me. I have experimented a bit with traditional C++ game programming, but unfortunately I just never have enough time to pursue all of my interests. I plan on more experimentation, so maybe I'll write about that too. I absolutely love MMOs such as World of Warcraft. I typically play on Garona server, contact me if you want to play along on this server. Now the image and link above are for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. I love this game, it is an intense first person shooter game that has a great multiplayer following.

Consoles within our arsenal include: XBOX 360, Original XBOX, PS2, Gameboys, and Wii
