About me
My name is Thea Burger and I am a software developer focusing on .NET technologies. My programming experience started out with Visual Basic 6, hereafter I moved to ASP. Not long after that I discovered .NET and since then I was hooked! I first started out with VB.NET, and moved to C# soon after. I am not sorry that I made the move and now I predominantly code in C#.
I recently (Oct 2005) moved to Johannesburg after I lived most of my life in Pretoria. This move was brought on by the ridiculous traffic I had to endure between the 2 cities every day. Pretoria was also getting a bit boring and Johannesburg looked like an exciting option as it is our biggest city and the heart of the economy. I have not yet looked back. South Africa is a sunny, beautiful country with friendly people and anyone that can must plan a holiday here - it will be very cheap as our exchange rate against the dollar and pound aren't that good.
My days mainly consist of working as a software developer at Faritec, an IT Services and Solutions company, creating enterprise level solutions for our clients. Spare time is spent surfing, reading, playing hockey, running, blogging and trying to keep up to date with all the new technologies.
