About Me
My name is Santanu Sen. I am primarily involved in the creation of software. You can view my profile on Linkedin here.
The intent of this blog is to keep and share notes on my experience in the creation of software. Though I use Microsoft tools, it is becoming increasingly clear that these are not always sufficient to create the solution the world requires today. One then requires to understand and integrate other technology and tools to create acceptable solutions. These are the areas I will post on.
To take a break from work, I do photography (you can view a portfolio of my work on Flickr; those with a Facebook account can view these on my Facebook profile). And sometimes attempt to write fiction.
I also express opinions. Opinions expressed in this blog - unless I am quoting someone - are mine and do not represent anyone else's view in any way.
