About

My name is Jason Young and I’ve a Software Engineer that enjoys coding ASP.NET websites using c#. I started working with ASP.NET while 1.0 was still in beta. Ever since, I’ve been hooked! I’ve also written a fair amount of code in Java, C++, JavaScript, and Adobe Flex.

The purpose of this blog is to:

• Share my knowledge with the .NET community. After all, I’ve been sponging off of their vast knowledge all of these years.
• Complete my thoughts. To solve a problem is one thing. To really think through it and understand it from all angles is another.
• Get feedback. No matter what opinion you form, or what you state, someone will have a different opinion. Sometimes it’s good to hear the other side, and I’d like to think it will make me a better programmer.
• To gather a following. I’ll admit it, it’s fun being popular. Popularity can lead to opportunities. Popularity can also lead to networking and free advertising.
• Solve problems. As I’ve mentioned, I’ll take any programming related questions you might have. Just send them over to questions@young-technologies.com.

Some interesting things about me:

• I get excited about new versions of software. You know you’re a geek when a good day is when a service pack is released for Visual Studio.
• I get excited about new tech products, even if I’m going to be buying them.
• I have a hard time not thinking about technology. It’s a part of me.
• I change my mind a lot as I learn new things.
• When I’m not coding, I’m enjoying my family, ATV’ing, and working on my house.

If you’re interested in my personal blog, head over to www.superjason.com. It’s probably pretty boring if you’re looking for anything technical, but sometimes I say something funny (funny to me at least).
