Thycotic has recently engaged on a consulting project that is completely VB.NET.  This is not our usual (C#) stomping ground so there are plenty of opportunities for us to learn new things and make sure that we steer clear of the religious arguments!  I have been developing primarily in C-style languages for most of my...

Steve Eichert points to "Consulting vs. Contracting" which has a nice discussion on the difference between the two.  Having been on both sides of the fence, I agree that consulting is the favorable option.  At Thycotic, we have the support of our team, the reputation of the company and the strength of our accomplishments in the form...

TechEd is a great conference with loads of buzz, technology and people that make such events the place to be.  Last year, I was able to give a presentation in the Development Cabanas on Test Driven Development with ASP.NET and helped out fielding technical questions in the same cabanas which gave me complimentary access to the conference!...

Joel Spolsky has written an interesting piece about the idea of "eating your own dogfood" which simply means using your own software - people who buy dogfood don't eat it.  Over the years, I have seldom been in the position to use the software that Thycotic Software Ltd has developed.  The software has usually been out of my realm of...
