My name is Sky Sanders and I wrassle nones and ones for fun and profit.

Some useful code that I have written and is not under NDA:

CassiniDev - an enhanced cassini implementation with external IP support that is also a drop-in replacement for VS WebDev.WebServer.exe
SharpZipLib.Silverlight - a complete (less AES cryptography) port of SharpZiplib for Silverlight 3/4 and Windows Phone 7
Soapi.CS : A fully relational fluent .NET, Silverlight, Windows Phone 7 and Mono client library for the Stack Exchange API
Soapi.JS : A fluent JavaScript client library for the Stack Exchange API
soapi-notify: Stay ahead of the pack with new question notification V1 release
http://soapi.info a suite of Stack Overflow related tools and services
SODDI: Fast Multi Platform Data Dump Import - Sql 2000/05/08 - SQLite - MySql
My CodeProject Articles
Google Maps API 3 Visual Studio Intellisense

I am MCSE+I which, while I have absolutely no desire to administer, goes a long way towards understanding the requirements, constraints and possible implication of the applications I design. This includes skilled installation, configuration and maintenance of IIS and SQL Server.

I have an keen eye for detail, strive for excellence but know when good enough is good enough. I move fast and clean and I can work in a team or as a one man hit squad.

I have also had extensive experience in the realm of the ASP.Net Provider Stack.

Currently my primary focus is on the Microsoft stack but 20 years of development and infrastructure experience coupled with a driving need to know and an infallible knack for finding out makes me uniquely qualified to deliver solutions for a broad spectrum of problem domains.

All code posted is tested and works on my machine. Unless otherwise noted, it is public domain and you are free to do with as you please.

You can hire me. sky.sanders at gmail.com

Feb 28	comment	OAuth redirect not completing same, and other, issue for me. just had not the time at the time to figure out whether i was 'doin it wrong' or what. thanks for raising this.
Feb 28	comment	OAuth Dialog rendering problems i hit a similar roadblock building the client workflow for soapi2. i will try to spend some time with it today to verify.
Feb 12	comment	When API site goes offline, please return a JSON , instead of Stack Overflow alike offline HTML page hmm..... needs a bump?
Feb 12	comment	Get a list of required tags for site lol. borg mind at work. i just finished changing to stackapps and got some. here - let me answer your question for you ;-)
Feb 12	comment	Get a list of required tags for site there is now the api.stackexchange.com/docs/required-tags method but i cannot get it to return any results.
Feb 5	comment	integer and decimal are used to describe fields in return types but not in method parameters @geo - been busy the last couple years making money writing json api stacks. i won't be nearly as noisy as last time but there is a v2 release in the works based on the work i have done these past couple years.
Dec 22	comment	Soapi.CS : A fully relational fluent .NET Stack Exchange API client library It has been a while but I think the min may be 2.6. not documented, i know. bad me. I have to check.
Nov 12	comment	Wrong content-type in JSONP calls @pablo's statement that 'it doesn't work' is incorrect. the content-type may not be correct but chrome handles it just fine, with a warning. both george and i have been leveraging jsonp since day 1 with full browser support.
Nov 11	comment	Fast Multi Platform Data Dump Import for SQL Server (2000/2005/2008), SQLite and MySQL thanks. i will try to get this fixed next week. if you are able, try to follow rchern's advise on workaround
Nov 11	comment	Fast Multi Platform Data Dump Import for SQL Server (2000/2005/2008), SQLite and MySQL thanks for the heads up. i have not run an import in several months. i will try to make time to fix this next week
Nov 9	comment	what should be the duration between each call to stackoverflow api for getting new questions? @zain - the key word is 'identical', e.g. the url is identical. what you are describing does not sound as if it will fall foul of the guideline.
Nov 7	comment	Search Stack Exchange Network of Q&A sites instantly with SEInstant dude - this frikkin rocks! very quick and clean.
Nov 6	comment	Is there anyway to get the information now available in the Notification box? @bryan - hmmm.. no chat api. i did not consider that as i do not habit the chats. seems you are SOL on that front.
Nov 5	comment	Is there anyway to get the information now available in the Notification box? @bryan - the data is available. you just have to dig for it.
Nov 5	comment	Silverlight download JSON from API fails @zain - yes, that suggestion was from the initial answer - if you are using phone7 there is only ClientHttp so manual decompression is required. don't thank me, thank the guy that created silverlight.sharpziplib with a review on codeplex. oh, wait... that is me. ;-) seriously, a review of slziplib on codeplex would be greatly appreciated.
Nov 5	comment	Silverlight download JSON from API fails @zain - my pleasure.
Nov 4	comment	StackAd - An Easy Way to Display Open-Source Ads on Your Site/Blog geo - the copyright is missing your name.
Nov 1	comment	How to check if a given question is changed hey sys, as @kev says and as I have noticed, bloated answer/comment counts are rare. I would think that this is a pretty useful case even with the corners. If I get some time this week I will fire up the soapi.js2 dev and bang out an exemplar for future reference.
Oct 28	comment	soapi-notify : Stay ahead of the pack with new question notification V1 release i have been, on-and-off, been working on v2 but work has been getting in the way. i feel bad because I have previously promised a new version but just have not been able to give it the time required. This code could be modified to recognize more sites fairly simply, but the UI would be more work, thus the rewrite in progress. I will be sure to update this post with any progress.
Oct 21	comment	Google App Engine [app]s - We are all on the same quota! also covered in an early post - too lazy to find it right now, but thanks for bringing it up.
