My name is Tim LaBonne and I’m a software developer working in Wisconsin on various finance-related projects at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where I’ve worked since 2001.  I’ve been coding since I was around 13 years old and I love to create and learn new things.

I’ve professionally been using the following technologies lately:

• .NET (specifically C#) and Visual Studio
• JavaScript
• HTML and CSS
• ASP.NET MVC and Web Forms
• WinForms
• jQuery, jQuery UI, jQuery Mobile
• Knockout.js
• Oracle
• RavenDB
• NHibernate

Since my job requires me to wear many different hats, I also do quite a bit of analysis of requirements, customer interviews, and interaction design.  In fact, I really like learning about interaction design.

I’ve dabbled with a lot of other things too but only as personal projects:

• XNA Framework-based game programming (I published two games on the XBox 360 Indie Games service).
• Windows Phone 7
• Windows Store apps
• EaselJS
• AngularJS
• Bing Maps API
• Python

Things I worked on a long, long time ago:

• VBScript/VB6
• ASP
• COM
• C/C++ and DirectX 6.0-8.0 (I wrote my first game in C using DirectX 6 DirectDraw API)
• Win32 and MFC

I hope to post things of interest to the developer community that has helped me out a lot over the years.  You can contact me at tblabonne AT gmail DOT com.
