Hello World!
Just to quickly introduce myself. My name is Ashutosh Benjamin Nilkanth (aka ashben). I work as an IT consultant in India. I've been programming for a little over 6 years now - on independent projects, freelance contracts and for companies in India, Singapore and the US - primarily using the Microsoft suite of tools and technologies including .NET (ASP.NET, VB.NET, ADO.NET, Web Services), ASP, VB (6.0 and prior), SQL Server, BizTalk etc. I've been toying with .NET since 2001 and it's been a great journey so far.
By way of this blog, I'll share my experiences, ideas and news-bits related to .NET and technology in general. So stay tuned!
Last but not the least, I would like to thank Scott Watermasysk for developing .Text and assisting me to be a part of this great community.
