• About Me

    Who are you?

    Hi, I’m Andrew. I live in north-east England (UK) with my girlfriend, an apple tree and a few computers. My programming career started with Microsoft BASIC and Foxpro at college, then through C, C++ and Java at University in the 90′s, and I currently work in C# on SQL Server.

    Like Jeff Atwood, I think computers are fascinating, but also the evolving and ever-improving processes of software development really interest me.

    I am delighted to work with Datawright Computer Services, where we create innovative solutions for all types of companies around the world. I spend most of my time working on our unique Invoice workflow management software called SNAP.

    Why do you blog?

    Primarily to improve my writing and programming skills. I’m a big reader of technical programming and software engineering blogs, and I often find myself wondering about a particular topic or sub-topic. I’ll blog about it because I think would be good to find out more.

    Why ‘Fat Lemon’ ?

    The name came to me while I was at University – we were throwing ideas around for a group project company name, and all of the suggestions were quite serious, so I started thinking of sillier names and for some reason started thinking of fruit.. the name stuck in my head, but the group decided on a more conservative name in the end!

    How can I contact you?
