Redwerb

Tools, tips, and techniques for software developers.

Welcome to Redwerb!

I've finally gotten around to creating my own website. I've owned this domain for almost a year but haven't found the time to create my website. If you're wondering where the name Redwerb came from, it's my last name spelled backwards (my wife Christine came up with it). If you are wondering about the logo, it's what I imagine a red werb looks like.

Over my Christmas break I've done a bit of research and finally decided on using Community Server by Telligent for my website. I'm not sure what I want to do with my website in the future and this product seems to be able to scale if I ever want to do something interesting.

One of my concerns about moving my blog was actually transferring my posts. I ended up creating a tool that used the Blogger API to get the posts and then used the Community Server web services to move them to my new blog. It took awhile to build, but it seems to have worked (better than moving them each by hand). Unfortunately I lost all the comments and I'm pretty sure there are links that point back to posts in my old blog as well as a couple of pictures that are hosted by Blogger.

Anyway, I'm glad you made it to my new website. Feel free to leave a comment to let me know what you think. You can also use the Contact link in the menu in the column on the right.

About Brian Brewder

I'm a software engineer in Kirkland, WA. I have been developing with .Net since 2002. My main area of focus has been designing and implementing a UI framework for an ERP system. Before I got into .Net, I developed for several years in a variety of languages and platforms including mostly ASP, though I've also developed applications for both Palm and Pocket PC devices.

I received my degree in Computing and Software System from the University of Washington in 1999. I have also completed a certificate course in Object-Oriented Analysis and Design Using UML, also from the University of Washington, in 2005.
