[OSGeo-Discuss] Hello everybody

[Daniel Ames]

Carsten, with your background in VB and interest in C#, you should also
consider joining the dotnet at lists.osgeo.org mailing list and check out our
projects including DotSpatial, SharpMap and others (search "gis" on
codeplex.com and go to town). - Dan

from doing small drawing programs to 'fast and furious' 3d-graphics showing
georeferenced data. I am an amateur programmer, with emphasis on amateur and
in the low Visual Basic (VB) league as such .. that doesn't prevent me from
having a good time or creating something usefull. I started doing VB 20
years ago in the MS Office Excel attachment and is currently using a free
version of Visual Studio 2010. The net.framework that spans the gab between
coding-languages makes it difficult to take the final jump and become a
'real' programmer (in C# or C++).

educational system 'cos I would not be able to defend myself. I succeeded in
getting some 'fast and furious' graphics up and running a good year ago. It
was a new and encouraging experience to get hold of USGS DEM-data and
achually watch it in the program. Getting the higher resolution of the
public aster-data has become a natural target, but getting to watch fast and
furious DEM in the first place sort'a overextended my abilities. Getting to
understand Tiff/geoTiff and how to approach it programmatically has become a
priority.
