Welcome to my site

First let me say thanks for stopping by my site. My name is David Hanson-Graville and I am a IT consultant working in the UK. Let me make it clear, I am passionate about technology and specifically .net and its various forms. I've programmed in a range of langages, but I can say, I am now at my happiest when coding with c#. I hope my blog is an enjoyable & educational read and please feel free to email me at David.Hanson@OnTheBlog.net if you have any questions.

I was surfing the web this morning and I came across this impressive Office Ribbon bar implementation by Simon Matthews at Infusion. He has uploaded a demo of the control and at it is mightly impressive.

I will be following his work eagerly as its something so far I think Microsoft has failed to deliver to developers. Why they have not delivered these controls I am not clear, but my hunch is that they are trying to capitalise on the uniqueness of the ribbon bar in office before they allow the rest of us the goodness. Eitherway, great job Simon.
