Introduction

Hello All,

I just wanted to take a moment to explain why I’m even creating this blog before making my first real posting. This blog I am going to use to pull all of my development activity into a single location.

Those who know me already and have been watching some of my other posts on the RuneEngine v2 Facebook Page should know I post almost everything there as it is. However, there are things I reserve posting there as they are unrelated to the RuneEngine project or any of it’s inner workings.

So, basically anything I post there or anywhere else, will likely end up here as well.

A little about me though. My name is Danny Helms and I am a full time support agent for an Imaging SDK provider in Charlotte, NC and a part time faculty for CPCC SGD Department, as a programming instructor. I have been coding since I was 8 years old, so been a pretty long time now. One thing you may see as I write is that no matter how long I’ve been developing or how far I go, I’m always learning new things. It’s not only because the field changes and advances on a daily basis, but also because it’s already so vast it’s hard not to come across new things all the time.

You may see me mention use of languages in:

• -C#
• C++
• WPF
• Silverlight
• SOME VB.NET
• Javascript
• May start some Java soon
• ASP.NET is also something I will likely piddle with in near future.

Common SDKs I use:

• Microsoft’s XNA Framework
• WeiFenLou Docking API (May not use this as much as I am moving further into WPF development)
• BEPU Physics Engine

Current Projects:
