Interview with Anthony Dino Longano B Sc. (IT)

1. Why did you decide to freelance as software developer?

I love every part of the software development process. Freelancing enables me to work hands on a project for a client from the initial contact to the completed system delivery. I also like working closely with and communicating directly with my clients and freelancing enables me to do this.

2. What development languages and technologies do you specialise in?

For application development is specialise in ASP.NET and C#.NET. I choose MS SQL Server as my prefered database server and for reporting I favour Crystal Reports and Report Manager.

3. Why have you chosen to specialise in these?

The .NET Framework is the newest and most developed application development framework. This allows me to rapidly develop applications with the large amount of pre-built components that it provides. As the development language is in its infancy, it ensures that applications I develop won't be out-dated in years to come. This language is also the most supported in the form of documentation and articles so learning to do new things is the easy. MS SQL Server is also well supported and suitable for almost any type of application so thats why I favour it. For reporting purposes I favour Crystal Reports and Report Manager as they are by far the best and most powerful applications for report generation that I have come across.

4. What are your main strenghts as a software developer?

My passion for software programming. I look forward to the challenges that each application brings me and I say bring it on! Consistency and perfection are two by-products of my passion. I aim to ensure the my applications are constent in all ways, from the GUI layout to the business process handling. I also aim to ensure that applications I create are 100% perfect.

5. Do you have any other interests?

Soccer, I love soccer and play for a club. Incase you are wondering, I support Liverpool - the best club in history! Chess is another of my passions. I also strive to always learn new things and treasure occasions when I learn from others.
