Introduction
I'm the head of technology at Saatchi & Saatchi NY, a role I've had at advertising firms and digital shops in NYC, London, and LA with 15+ years of experience. I'm an author of three books on PHP, but I use a lot of other platforms professionally.
What languages/frameworks do you use (Java, .NET, PHP, Ruby, etc.)?
PHP, Java, Ruby, Python, .NET/C#, JavaScript, C, C++, Arduino, Processing, Perl, several others.
What topics might you be interested in?
Hiring and developing teams, startup life, tools and frameworks used by others, management techniques.
Do you have any specific areas of expertise? Would you be willing to share it with the group?
Digital advertising, PHP, a growing level of expertise with embedded systems development, Facebook API, Linux administration, large-scale database (relational and NoSQL) architectures, Amazon Web Services, cross-platform mobile frameworks. And yes, work schedule permitting.
What is your favorite unit test framework and why?
For PHP, I like SimpleTest for its power and simplicity. For Java, I use JUnit, because, well it's just what you do (and I'm too lazy to look at other options). For C# I like NUnit, which plays well with ReSharper and has some nice GUI tools.
What is your favorite version control system and why?
I'm coming around to Git, mainly because I love GitHub, but I'm happiest with SVN because other than git, I have a burning hatred for all of the others I've used (CVS, Perforce, Microsoft's two abysmal attempts, Rational, a few others), and I've used SVN longer and am more comfortable at the command line than I am with git.
