Why am I publishing free information?

First of all, let me assure all paying customers of Camden Software Consulting that this site will not contain any information that infringes on any non-disclosure agreements, nor any technologies that you paid for me to invent. The purpose of this site is two-fold: First, to create a repository of information that I am repeatedly asked about and have grown tired of repeating. Second, to advertise my services by giving out small samples of my expertise. I make no guarantees to fully exhaust any specific subject on this site, but I will be happy to do so for my usual hourly fee. Please contact me on my contact page for more information.

If you’d like to read more of my thoughts on a wider range of subjects and optionally comment on them, please visit my personal blog.
