Hi, my name is Gary Short and this is my corner of the web, welcome! I am a Technical Evangelist for Developer Express. I specialise in .Net desktop and web application programming using the C# language, but I have an interest in dynamic langauges such as Python and Smalltalk. I also have an interest in agile software engineering methodologies such as SCRUM and XP. You can find out more about my technical abilities and interests on my blog or by reading my C.V. (that's a resume for you american chaps).

I am also a community evangelist, talking at many conferences and user groups, normally on the topics of patterns and practices or agile methodologies. If you are interested in having me speak at your user group or conference then I have a list of talks I can present. You can also view a calendar of my current speaking engagements.

Being active in the community, I also help run the North East of Scotland .Net User Group. If you are in the area and are interested in the subject then check us out and come along to our (free) meetings.

As a Technical Evangelist, I have an interest in social networking and as such you can find me on my blog, flickr, linkedIn, Facebook and Twitter.

Lastly, I am always eager to engage in conversation with customers of Developer Express as well as people interested in the same technology as I am, or those who have attended my talks, so feel free to drop me an email at gary at this domain. You can also chat to me on Skype (gary.short) or msn (my msn address is the same as my email address).
