Contest - Write an Article for Developer.ie
Congratulations to Brendan McLoughlin
He is the winner of our March competition to win a 100 euros voucher for the
article he submitted this month on Generics.
Developers.ie has a competition running to find the best/most interesting
article every month and Duncan Jones is the first winner of the voucher,
sponsored by Computerjobs.ie!
His article has been published in Developers.ie and it will now also be
published in our newsletter and in the Computerjobs.ie newsletter. Both
newsletters have a combined circulation of 8,000 and get over 40,000 visitors.
Some questions to Brendan:
- Where do you work and what do you do there?
I am currently working as a senior software engineer for GBE Limited, developing
software solutions for the Gaming industry. The main technologies I work with
are C# and SQL server.
- How long are you working in this industry?
I graduated from Coleraine Universtity almost 12 years ago and have been working
in the software industry ever since.
- What are your hobbies?
I enjoy running, a good book or a good gig. I also follow Tottenham Hotspur
although that is not always fun.
- Do you have any pets?
I have no pets.
- What is your favourite food?
I really enjoy all Indian food.
- What is the last book you read and the last movie you saw?
The last book I read was "The Book of lost things" by John Connolly and the last
movie I seen would be "Juno". I would recommend both.
- What do you think about the developers industry in Ireland?
Small, competitive with loads of opportunity to get involved in innovation and
new technology.
- What really annoys you?
The overcrowded trains on the Maynooth commuter rail.
- What would you bring to a desert island with you?
I would bring my favourite book "The Count of Monte Cristo" for inspiration and
of course my IPod.
- If you could change one thing about the computer industry in Ireland what
would that be?
I think this has been said before but I believe companies
need to promote software careers a lot better here. My brother is
currently in college and his knowledge of the industry comes purely from family
members as opposed to the industry itself.li>
