Anthony Broad-Crawford

Finally, I am going to enter the blogging world.  I have wanted to do this for a couple years now, however, I never could seem to find the time.  Oddly enough, now that I help manage a start up, and have absolutely no time (eighty hour work weeks, family, and back in school), I am going to start blogging.

Prior to my involvement at Within3, I just could never find a topic or theme that I wanted to write about.  I was an applications architect building large scale systems in .NET, so it should have been simple.  However,  anytime I sat down at the keyboard, I would get distracted and begin writing code for whatever my current side project was.

Now that I have immersed myself (and my family) in a start up for over a year, and have successfully designed, built, and deployed my first application from the ground up (without an Enterprise IT support staff), I find that I have a long list of topics and experiences to write about.

This blog will most likely be technical in nature as I will focus on applications architecture, operations architecture, development methodologies, design patterns, and technology stacks.  However, given my role as Chief Technology Officer and responsibilities in product development and delivery, I will also discuss product management, design, and organizational management.
