Current activities
|
Software development for vehicle safety tests |
For several years, I have been working on software used in the planning, performance and analysis of vehicle crash tests. This has included
The software development uses the languages C, C++ and Visual Basic 6 and supports both the SQL Server and Oracle database systems. |
|
Development of software localization tools |
Around the start of 2001, I developed the first version of the Multi-Language Add-In for VB6. This was followed in 2003 by the Multi-Language Add-In for Visual Studio .NET. Both of these products are being actively supported and regularly enhanced with new features. |
|
Driver development for Microsoft Windows |
Back in 1997, I learnt how to develop kernel mode device drivers for Windosw NT 4.0. The programming model has been enhanced in each version of Windows, but the basic principles have remained the same. Since then, I have sporadically been asked to program drivers for Microsoft Windows, most recently an NDIS Miniport driver for 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapter. |
|
Part time university course in mathematics |
Since the winter semester 2003/2004 I have been enrolled in a part time university course in Mathematics at the Fernuniversität in Hagen, Germany. The course leads to a Diplom in mathematics. In July 2006 I was awarded the Vordiplom. |
Specialisation
|
C/C++ Programming |
I learnt C sometime in the late 1980s, and C++ a little later, and have been actively programming in both languages ever since. C remains the natural choice for low level applications, such as device drivers and embedded systems. C++ is an appropriate choice for systems programming and technical applications, but I would no longer recommend C++ for user interface or database programming. |
|
VB6 Programming |
Most C programmers have some prejudice against Visual Basic. I started using Visual Basic in 1999 and was quickly forced to admit, that it was more productive environment for user interface and database programming than C++. |
|
.NET Programming |
After releasing the Multi-Language Add-In for VB6, it was natural to want to program a version for the new version of VB. This has led me to become familiar with the languages (VB.NET, C#, managed C++) and the project types (Windows Forms, ASP.NET, Compact Framework) supported by Visual Studio .NET. |
