Introduction

CTO rising.

What languages/frameworks do you use (Java, .NET, PHP, Ruby, etc.)?

C++, Python, Android, C, Java, Lua, Web2Py, Django, Boost, ACE, YARP and a host of others. Always looking at new technologies and finding good tools for the job.

What topics might you be interested in?

CTO roles, concerns and responsibilities. Interacting with other executives, customers and leading the technical organization.

Do you have any specific areas of expertise? Would you be willing to share it with the group?

Plenty of technical team leadership and execution experience, so maybe there is something there.

What is your favorite unit test framework and why?

I don't really have a favorite 'off-the-shelf' unit test framework. I have used several, but have tended to roll my own or use custom implementations.

What is your favorite version control system and why?

Today I prefer the use of a distributed VCS, with my current favorite being Git for its pervasive availability, flexibility, and large set of existing users. To be honest, I am not religious about the choice of VCS other than that one be used and that it be available cross-platform (i.e. not tied to a particular OS or architecture).

  • Thanks for putting this together! I enjoyed the first meet-up and am looking forward to more, much we can all learn from each other and the more experienced devs in the community.
