About
My name is Darren Stokes. My day job involves working for a startup ISV, Concurrent Access Software, developing commercial software and providing limited consulting to clients.
I began my career working with mainframes programming jcl, cobol, and assembly. Within a year, I discovered that life was not for me and moved on to programming on Windows 3.0 and DOS using c, c++, and assembler. I worked with unix and various windows versions developing mostly c++ and some Visual Basic for about 5 years when the java platform really took off. I spent around 5 years working with java and j2ee servers and went back to the Microsoft platform with .Net 1.1 doing consulting work and writing extensions for Visual Studio. I am now working with the Mac platform developing Objective-C programs for the desktop, iPad, and the iPhone.
