Grasshopper.iics

CEO Integrated Ideas

India

gasshopper.iics is a group of like minded programmers and learners in codeproject. The basic objective is to keep in touch and be notified while a member contributes an article, to check out with technology and share what we know. We are the "students" of codeproject.

This group is managed by Rupam Das, an active author here. Other Notable members include Ranjan who extends his helping hands to invaluable number of authors in their articles and writes some great articles himself.

Rupam Das is mentor of Grasshopper Network,founder and CEO of Integrated Ideas Consultancy Services, a research consultancy firm in India. He has been part of projects in several technologies including Matlab, C#, Android, OpenCV, Drupal, Omnet++, legacy C, vb, gcc, NS-2, Arduino, Raspberry-PI. Off late he has made peace with the fact that he loves C# more than anything else but is still struck in legacy style of coding.
Rupam loves algorithm and prefers Image processing, Artificial Intelligence and Bio-medical Engineering over other technologies.

He is frustrated with his poor writing and "grammer" skills but happy that coding polishes these frustrations.

James Dale

Software Developer (Senior)

Canada

I started programming on a Commodore PET with 8K memory and a cassette drive for storage. I used Commodore BASIC and 6502 assembler. I have been coding for 35 years and still consider Delphi 7 the most productive IDE and language I have used. I use C# and Visual Studio when I have to in order to satisfy some clients.

I prefer ColdFusion and Railo for server language as they are so productive. Again I use asp.net when I have to.

I am a big fan of JavaScript on the client but I am still not sold on Node.js as a server platform.
