Experience
From humble beginnings. My first job was working for minimum wage back in 1986. Since then, I've worked with many different businesses, across many vertical markets.
Trusted
By being as transparent in my opinions as possible, I've earned the trust of developers from around the world.
Author
I've written eight books as well as articles for great publications like MSDN Magazine, CODE Magazine, Smashing Magazine, and many others.
Pragmatic
My videos, conference talks, and courses have always avoided dogma. Because I understand the importance in actually shipping software, I don't get caught up in the argument over purity.
