Welcome to my blog. My name is Ian Reay. I’m a software developer currently employed at M-Tech Information Technologies Inc. in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

This blog is intended to be a place where I share information relating to software development. The range of topics I will discuss are quite board. Often then will concentrate on advanced development/debugging/testing issues/tools.

I hope you find the information I share useful.
