Back in the day (’99 and 2000), when XML was just starting to catch on, Dan Rogers was a very public figure for Microsoft’s fledgling Biztalk product, and he taught me a bit about the Object-XML Impedence Mismatch. Dan wrote the first tool that I used to convert XML to objects, the Biztalk Jumpstart Toolkit (well, what VB6 called objects), and did his best to answer my questions (a lot of them I now get with folks trying to understand why the XML Serializer doesn’t work they way they envisioned, since they are trying to serialize/deserialize objects instead of messages). Over the last year or so I’ve noticed Dan’s name popping up here and there, but I can’t seem to find a blog for Dan. If anyone reading my blog knows Dan, please let him know that there is at least one person out there looking for him to blog.

About donxml
I’m an independent consultant, specializing in .Net solutions architecture, based out of New Jersey who also doubles as an evangelist for XML, Domain Driven Design, enterprise architecture and .Net. I do not work for Microsoft, the W3C or any other big company that you may know of (at least not yet). I’ve been an indie for over ten years, and although I’ve been tempted a couple times to take a job with companies like Microsoft, I’ve haven’t found something better than my current situation. I work mostly with the large pharmaceuticals that are based here in New Jersey, and usually find myself on long term contracts. Definitely not the prototypical indie consultant, but it lets me dedicate time to my non-income generating activities like the developer community stuff, plus financing open source projects like XPathmania and MVP-XML. If you would like to talk to me about doing some contract work, just contact me via the contact page. My rates vary widely, depending on lots of different variables, but mostly distance from Jersey, and type of work. Plus, I’ve been known to donate some of my code for various projects.
