This is the personal web site of Bernhard König, a software
developer located in Vienna, Austria.
Currently, I am employed at Orange Austria. The main
focus of my work is to develop the in-house CRM software.
Besides my day job, I also work on some other software
development projects. This blog and the entire site are mainly
dedicated to this part of my life. I'd like to present and share my
projects as well as my earned knowledge here, just like possibly
every other developer blog out there does.
You can also follow me on Twitter and a Facebook profile is
also out there. For business related contacts, I also maintain a Xing
profile.
Just like the subtitle of my blog implies, I really enjoy do
develop on the .NET platform. I develop desktop clients as
well as web or mobile clients, backend/infrastructure/web services,
database systems ... just everything I am able to get my hands on.
My (not exhaustive) list of skills include:
- Programming languages: C#, VB.NET, "Classic"
VB, VBScript, JavaScript
- SOA Technologies: Windows Communication
Foundation (WCF), .NET Remoting, Web Services
- Desktop & Web UI Technologies: ASP.NET,
Silverlight, Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), (X)HTML &
CSS, Windows Forms
- Databases & Servers: Microsoft SQL Server
(including Integration and Reporting Services), Windows Server,
Internet Information Server, Team Foundation Server,
Sharepoint
- CMS: I prefer Umbraco for CMS tasks, but I
also worked with Sitefinity, Kentico and DotNetNuke
- Mobile Development: Windows Mobile development
with .NET and of course Windows Phone 7 development
- Other: All the standard stuff like XML, XSLT,
REST, SOAP, RSS, Atom, some Unix and Linux skills, some protocol
knowledge (POP3/IMAP/SMTP, FTP, ...) and everything else you need
to survive in development land today.
If you wonder why my website is completely written
in English while I'm working and living in the German-speaking
part of this world - well, I think that everything but English is a
barrier and border for most people. And at least the Internet is
all about no borders and no
barriers. So - at least now you know I'm not an
English native speaker and I ask you to kindly excuse if my English
is sometimes a fail.
That said, I plan to at least partly publish this website also
in German. That's because bpk.cc offers also some services (like
E-Mail hosting) to a bunch of people out there where I'm aware that
some of them cannot speak or read English good enough to follow
E-Mail setting instructions, for example. Also, this is a good way
to try out Umbracos multilanguage capabilities.
So I think you know everything now that might be of interest to
you ... and I won't start now with a list of my hobbies or
favourite bands ... or any other of that boring stuff noone really
cares.
Instead, I'd like to thank you for visiting my blog and website,
and finish with an inevitable disclaimer:
While it's rather unlikely that I'm going to talk
about topics related to my day job, I think it's anyhow important
to state that any views expressed here are my own and do not
express those of my employer.
