Published Works
I used to try to write at least one article every month or two, usually for CodeProject.com, though I’ve been known to submit articles to (and be rejected by) Dr. Dobb’s Journal as well. Below are links to all of my published works to date:
- Implementing Phonetic (“Sounds-Like”) Name Searches with Double Metaphone
My six-part series on the Double Metaphone phonetic matching algorithm
** Part I – Introduction and C++ implementation
** Part II – COM Implementation in Visual Basic
** Part III – COM Implementation in VBScript and ASP
** Part IV – SQL Server with Extended Stored Procedure
** Part V – .NET Implementation
** Part VI – Alternative Algorithms and Additional Resources - A Bitmap Manipulation Class with Support For Format Conversion, Bitmap Retrieval from a URL, Overlays, etc
A fairly comprehensive bitmap class that makes use of much of the .NET GDI+ API - Outsourcing and Offshore Coders: Good or Evil?
A very incendiary piece in defense of free trade while pointing out the numerous technical drawbacks of moving offshore. Sparked a heated debate in the CodeProject forums. - What Is FIPS and Why You Should Care
An introduction to FIPS security certifications for the embedded systems industry
