Scott Whitlock

By day I'm a Professional Engineer, currently working as a .NET software developer.

I also wrote and maintain an open source extensible application framework called SoapBox Core, and an open source C# library for communicating with Insteon home automation devices called FluentDwelling.

I have decided to stop contributing to this community because it has become a site more concerned with nitpicking and rules than with allowing programmers to help other programmers.
