I
was
president
for
most
of
the
20
years
that
it
ran,
and
I
retired
in
2014,
and
that
in
my
group
morphed
into
the
san
diego.net
user
group,
which
still
meets
to
this
day.
So
I'm
really
glad
that's
continuing
here
in
san
diego,
you
know
also
started
my
first
website
I
piggy
back
off
of
carl
franklin's
server
back
in
1994
and
now
it's
called.nettips.com.
B
Where
I'm
continuously
writing,
and
I
get
you
know
I
I
get.
I
look
at
my
traffic
every
once
in
a
while,
and
you
know
the
the
most
different
traffic
I
saw.
One
time
was
somebody
in
the
vatican
is
reading
my
email,
I
mean
reading
my
blog.
I
thought
that
was
pretty
cool
in
97.
I
started
teaching
at
the
university
of
san
diego
with
my
good
friends,
woody
pugh
and
michelle
larue
bustamante,
where
we
started
an
extensions
group
at
the
university.
B
All
the
three
of
us
started
that
and
in
2000
I
actually
got
them
the
ball
rolling
to
start
teaching.net
and
our
first
class
of.net
because
of
me
was
april
2001
and
so
I've
been
teaching.net
ever
since
then
I've
been
on
the
board
of
two
universities.
I
became
a
patent
inventor
at
proflowers.com
in
the
in
the
2000s.
B
I
started
publishing
books
in
97
and
never
stopped.
I'm
always
writing.
On
a
book
continuously
2006,
I
became
a
microsoft
mvp
2017
I
became
a
featured
writer
on
mvp
and
an
mvp
on
the
c-sharp
corner,
where
I
over,
I
have
over
1.1
million
reads
now,
which
I
think
is
pretty
pretty
incredible,
and
this
year
I
ran
my
first
conference
through
the
website
where
we
have
over
78
000
viewers.
So
far,
and
so
that's
to
me,
that's
just
really
awesome
because
it
was
all
about
code
quality.
B
I've
I've
won
more
awards
than
I
can
remember
anymore,
but
one
of
my
favorites
was
the
I
needed
a
I
neta
community
leader
award
since
I
was
nominated
and
voted
by
my
peers
and
I
always
felt
that
ward
was
more
special
than
than
than
a
lot
of
well
they're
all
special.
But
I
thought
that
one
affected
me
the
more.
I
think
the
most
I
think
I've
worked
for
many
great
teams
and
too
many
not
so
great,
and
I
continuously
strive
to
wake,
make
our
work
world
better
and
code
better.
B
I
also
work
really
hard
to
support
an
ngo
that
I
visited
in
india
during
one
of
my
conference
trips,
where
all
the
profit
from
one
of
my
books
goes
to
the
ngo
now
and
they've
been
able
to
restart
the
vocational
training.
Because
of
that-
and
I'm
also
working
on
a
new
book,
a
cooking
book
that
100
percent
of
the
proceeds
will
go
to
the
voice
of
solomon
ngo
in
india.
B
A
B
Well,
most
of
people
who
know
me
already
know
that
I'm
110
into
the
microsoft
ecosystem-
I
mean
you
know
my
my
name's
done
at
dave.
You
know,
so
I
don't
know
why
anybody
would
ask
me
java
questions
or
things
like
that
and
and
one
of
the
biggest
reasons
I'm
110
into
the
microsoft
ecosystem
is
because
you
know
their
systems
work
together.
They
might
not
be
perfect
by
any
by
any
stretch,
but
they
are
geared
to
work
together,
including
you
know,
azure.
B
You
know.
I've
worked
with
many
teams
in
microsoft
to
make
our
world
and
code
better
and
tools
better,
and
that's
really,
my
favorite
part
of
being
a
microsoft
mvp
program
is.
Is
I
have
real
impact
on
future
versions
of
visual
studio
and
other
things
that
have
come
out
in
visual
studio?
There
actually
are
some
ideas.
Some
features
in
videos,
visual
steel,
that
are
my
ideas
that
came
from
being
at
the
microsoft
mvp
summit
every
year
and
and
lately
in
microsoft.
You
know
early
in
microsoft.
B
You
know,
microsoft,
didn't
really
embrace
other
ecosystems.
Right
and
apple
was
still
that
way
pretty
much
right,
but
you
know
with
microsoft's
change
in
direction.
You
know
in
the
last
five
plus
years
or
since
they've
gone
to
open
source.
You
know
they
are
embracing
all
ecosystems
which
I
think
is
really
exciting,
that
you
can
do
everything
pretty
much
in
one
place.
Instead
of
going
to
lots
of
different
framework
sites
and
things
like
that.
B
Well,
the
biggest
thing
to
me
is
reaching
out
to
developers
to
embrace
and
get
them
to
stay
in
the
net
ecosystem.
You
know,
as
as
developers
we
have
a
lot
of
say
much
of
the
time
in
teams
on
on
the
direction
on
the
projects
are
going,
and
especially,
if
you're
more
of
a
lead
or
an
architect
level.
You
know
we
have
really
a
power
to
change
things,
and
so
I
think
that
the
organization
can
help
out
with
that.
You
know
a
non-microsoft
organization
can
inspire
developers
and
teams
more
in
my
mind
than
microsoft.
B
You
know
and
and
strive
to
make
that
better
and
and
some
of
the
ways
I've
thought
of
doing
that
you
know
with
the
foundation,
is
work
with
speakers,
of
course,
because
we're
you
know
we're
the
the
mouse
of
you
know:
uh.net
work
with
open
source
developers
too.
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
work.
We
need
to
do
to
make
projects
better
in
the
open
source
world
and
also
on
top
of
that,
you
know,
provide
videos
and
even
maybe
internet
shows
and
podcasts.
B
Yeah,
I
thought
a
lot
a
lot.
I
thought
a
lot
about
this
and
you
know
I've
always
you
know
me.
I've
always
been
wary
or
skeptical
of
open
source
projects.
You
know
ever
since
they
started
coming
out
because
mostly
they're
not
backed
by
a
large
corporation
like
microsoft,
right
well,
they
are
kind
of
now
at
microsoft
because
they're
you
know,
a
lot
of
their
stuff
is
open
source,
but
I'm
talking
about
the
early
days
of
open
source,
and
so
I
I
think,
that's
part
of
the
problem.
B
B
I'm
saying
open
source
projects
too
much
open
source
projects
on
the
foundation
site
adhere
to
a
common
set
of
standards,
and
since
I
have
the
only
pure
standards
book,
about.net
out,
I'm
really
big
into
standards,
of
course,
to
show
confidence
for
teams
to
use
open
source
software.
But
with
some
I
haven't
thought
through
this
completely
yet,
but
with
some
kind
of
award
or
recognition,
recognition
to
ensure
code
bases,
follow
a
minimum
standards
and
the
minimum
standards.
B
I
kind
of
feel
to
me
that
I
would
you
know
bring
up
immediately,
is
you
know
making
sure
the
code
adheres
to
open
coding
standards,
because
I've
looked
at
a
lot
of
the
code,
including
microsoft's,
and
they
don't
and
so
to
make
sure
that
you
know
it's.
A
common
set
of
coding
standards
are
being
used,
that
the
open
source
projects
use
at
code
analytics
and
passes
code
analytics
systems
open
source
projects
should
and
must
be
very
well
documented.
B
That's
one
of
the
biggest
issues
to
me
with
open
source
projects
is
the
complete
lack
of
documentation,
and
I
work
really
hard.
You
know
to
document
my
open
source
projects.
You
know
I
have
a
new
version
coming
out
on
the
first
of
september
and
I've
been
writing
an
article
of
all
the
new
stuff
and
the
new
release
for
at
least
two
months,
so
I'm
really
on
top
of
documentation.
B
B
B
Well,
there's
a
lot
of
work.
I
I
think
we
can
do
about
this,
but
I
I
would
like
to
focus
on
you
know
going
into
schools
as
low
as
middle
school
to
inspire
kids
to
get
into
software
and
engineering.
You
know
that's
really
the
place
that
I've
learned
with
some
of
my
friends
in
the
past
that
we
really
need
to
start
teaching
kids
to
to
to
be
excited
about
software
engineering
and
not
only
learn
it,
because
I
think
that
will
help
their
brain
brain
development,
but
also,
maybe
you
know,
a
career
someday.
B
B
You
know
the
other
thing
I've
been
thinking
about
around
this
is
a
community
events
to
better
and
better
organization
of
all
net
events.
You
know
I'm
not
sure
how
the
foundation
can
can
work
this
out,
but
you
know
as
a
as
a
developer
and
and
and
a
writer
is
it's
it's
really
hard
to
find
where
all
the
events
are.
You
know
you
know
and
all
the
way
from
user
groups
to
you
know
conferences.
B
You
know
it
would
be
really
nice
if
we
just
had
one
spot,
we
could
look
at
things
and-
and
I
think
that
would
promote
all
these
things-
a
lot
better.
If
we
had
one
spot
to
look
at
what's
going
on
in
our
world
and
then
you
know
education,
even
in
teams
and
companies
to
focus
on
quality,
you
know
that's.
You
know
someone
tweeted,
that
facebooked
me
that
I
read
this
morning
about
just
the
sheer
lack
of
quality
in
the
last
10
years,
and
so
my
my
goal
is
to
whatever
either.
B
Well,
kind
of
piggybacking
off
the
my
last
answer
was
to
see
how
I
can
start
and
start
or
get
involved
in
the
board
of
teaching
topics
to
make
open
source
quality
better
and
inspire
confidence
in
it
right.
I
think
a
lot
of
companies
and
teams
have
a
lot
of
confidence
issues
around
open
source
and
I've,
yet
to
see
a
team
like
actually
analyze
the
open
source
code
before
they
start
using
it,
and
so
I
think
all
teams
should
do
that
of
course,
and
see
how
I
can
start.
B
You
know,
get
to
get
involved
in
the
board,
teaching
kids
in
middle
schools
and
high
schools,
maybe
reaching
out
to
continuous
continuing
education
and
retraining
groups.
You
know
I
I
thought
about
that
recently
about
retraining
groups,
because
a
lot
of
you
know
industries
are
are
going
through
change.
You
know,
a
lot
of
industries
are
going
through
automation.
B
You
know
like
soon
there
won't
be
truck
drivers,
so
what
are
they
all
going
to
do?
And
so,
and
I
even
when
I
taught
at
the
university
this
southern
california
university
in
san
diego,
is,
I
had
some
of
those
people
in
my
class,
and
I
thought
that
was
a
really
cool
thing
that
they
were
offered
is,
to
you
know,
money
and
time
money
to
go
to
classes
to
retrain
themselves
to
be
software
engineers.
B
Well,
my
twitter
handle
is
real.netdave
or
you
can
also
find
me
on
rock
in
the
code
world.
That's
the
the
handle
I
have
for
my
show,
I'm
also
on
facebook
there's
a.
I
have
a
facebook
page
called
the
donette
army
that
that
steals
the
name
from
kiss,
because
when
kiss
was
popular,
they
had
the
dot
kiss
army,
which
I
was
part
of.
So
now
I
created
the.net
army
and
that's
on
facebook.
