I’M XANDER BLACKSTAR

SOFTWARE DEVELOPER

MY LATEST WORK



My latest work has me selling my skills a little short. As it was merely a program that I needed to do my job properly.



Until recently I worked as an IT Support technician. And while working that job I found myself needing a utility to help me ensure I would be dealing with customers in a manor that would ensure complete professisionality.


In terms of complexity It is far cry from some of the works I've done in the past. Therefore I decided to learn how to use WPF while making it. Two birds with one stone...

ABOUT ME



I have been into software developed for more than two decades, spanning from the days of DOS up until Windows 10.


I started coding out of boredom. The family computer was an outdated relic that didn't really offer much in terms of gamming. The only fun activity on it was a program called GWBasic. 


When I in 1995 got my own computer (486@50 4 mb ram), it could actually play games. Though I still found myself returning to the programming application qBasic. Coding had become a huge pass time. The only difference between that and my previous machine turned out to be me coding in a more modern language. If qBasic can be called that?!


A couple of years later I decided to learn a common language that supported an out of the box compiler. Which caused me to learn Turbo Pascal. I spend a couple of months using the language. I vividly recall coding a unit that encapsulated mouse functionality, not that I really got to use it since I would switchto Delphi shortly after picking up Turbo Pascal.
