My name is Andrew Sutton, aka Shandy.

I am currently living and working in the UK within the garment industry as an IT specialist. This blog contains mainly IT related issues.

I was a Microsoft VB MVP for a couple of years (Apr 2004-Mar 2006) and was a vbCityLeader between April 2003 and June 2007.

VB.Classic

I posted a couple of reviews today. Both the books I had read were excellent and get 5/5.They were Build Your Own ASP.NET Website Using C# & VB.NET and murach's C#. I have to say I have either been lucky with the books I have read recently or the quality of IT Software related books are improving.
I do enjoy reviewing books as knowing I have to produce a review at the end ensures I do actually read the book as I have a habit of reading half a book and then getting sidetracked on other projects. Generally it takes me at least a couple of months to read an average computer book to my satisfaction. I am possibly getting too old to take an entire book's contents in during a couple of weeks ;-) At devCity we are implementing a new article submission system over the next couple of months and we should start to see a number of reviews & technical articles appearing on the site once the new system is up and running. In the past the articles published as devCity were emailed to Serge, the site owner and he manually edited them and posted them, a job that has become too tome consuming now that devCity has grown. The new system will allow authors to submit their own articles in standard HTML and merely be checked and approved by Serge. It will be an exciting new feature for devCity.
