Me and the Blog
I am a professional .NET developer, Microsoft MVP. My job is to develop website for a fintech company.
This website is a .NET blog system developed by me starting from June 2008. It evolved from ASP.NET WebForms with VB to ASP.NET Core with C#. It's now open source to the community.

The Journey of Edi.Wang




-
2003
I was 14 years old and I was so interested in computer technologies. I studied ASP programming all by myself and built my first personal website: HackerInn. This site provides cyber security information and showcase my works.
After I entered high school, due to busy school study, I don't have enough time to continue working on my site. As a result, HackerInn was faded out of the Internet.

2008
After college entrance examination, I planned to build a brand new personal website for demostrating my works.
-
Use Windows Aero style as visual design, make the website looks gorgeous.
-
Use XHTML + CSS as a replacement for table layout, targeting latest browser standards.

Use .NET as development stack. Improved significantly on both functionality and security.
It was written in ASP.NET Web Forms 2.0 with VB.NET and converted to C# later, used Access 2007 as database. The website came online in July 2009, named "Geek Studio".
