This is the personal home page for Steve Jones, software engineer, trainer, flute player, hash house harrier, singer-songwriter, vegan and recent grandfather.

I'm a traditional programmer, brought up in the days of restricted memory and disk space, which is why you'll find that I tend to work in raw HTML, CSS and JavaScript/Typescript when doing web things. Plus I find that much more productive than struggling through hundreds of megabytes of Angular etc.

At the server side I most often use C# and the various ASP.Net technologies, although I do like node and have started to use it quite a lot.

For data I'm traditional once again, preferring SQL to most newer technologies. I have used Entity Framework in many successful projects, but often find myself just wanting to get at the underlying SQL.

For desktop, once again C# is generally my favourite when a GUI is involved, otherwise I still use C++ and even C, and although there's lots of things I don't like about it, I use Python extensively. I refuse to use Python 2 though, for many good reasons.
