So it begins..

That's the title of the first level of "Cannon Fodder", a rather splendid game from the 1990's. So I'd guess I'd best introduce myself since no-one else will (and if they do then you may be hearing voices - go get that checked :) ). I'm a 32-year old developer from the British Isles specialising in .NET, C#, Java, SQL and insanely obscure TV knowledge. I say "British Isles" because my developing skills (or lack of :)) has taken me to all over the place including Jersey, Exeter, London, Birmingham and even the Isle of Man.

Why "The Accidental Coder"? Well, way back when, it was always planned that I was going to be a lawyer. I studied both Law and Politics at A-Level but a "B" grade in Physics put pay to my entry into Law at university. I decided to take Computer Science instead and the rest is history. This blog, possibly the finest blog on this page, will probably be mostly developer related but I tend to ramble so expect a wide variety of topics.
