Eugene's Site
Home

Welcome to my site!

I am a programmer, software architect and frequent online contributor on various programming topics.

In the past I used to help people on matters related to Windows network programming on microsoft.public.win32.programmer.networks newsgroup and elsewhere. These days other things take precedence though I still occasionally post here and there. I have been a Microsoft MVP in "Platform SDK" area from 2003 to 2008.

I have joined Amazon.com in 2010 and currently work on Kindle application for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad devices.

My interests include, obviously, computers but also history, linguistics, biology and physics. On everything except computers I prefer to read what real pros have to say so you won't find me on any forums devoted to these areas.

My programming interests include everything Win32, Unix, C++, server-side programming, network programming, creation of reusable libraries and everything related to creation of robust, secure, portable and fail-safe code. I know quite a lot about .NET and Java but prefer not to work with them.

I live and work near Seattle, Washington. I speak English, Hebrew and Russian. I can be contacted at click link to see address

For those using search engines to find me, my name can variously be spelled as: Eugene Gershanik, Евгений Гершаник or יבגני גרשניק. Due to immigration, incompatible alphabets and other issues the 'a' in my last name disappeared in the English spelling I use but can still be found among my relatives.

This site is currently under construction so many things may not work. Please be patient.
