About slimCODE

slimCODE Software was founded by Martin Plante in 2006. We are based in La Prairie, Quebec, Canada.

Ok, ok, enough with the plural nouns. slimCODE is Martin Plante. It used to be my nickname. Now it's my company. Up until recently, I've always described myself as a Windows developer, since it's been about the only platform I've seriously worked with for the past 15 years (since Windows 3.0). I've been a developer for more than 20 years now, that's more than half my life.

Though I mainly work in C# now, I'm a long-time C/C++ coder, having gone through all Microsoft and Borland C/C++ compilers. But I don't like to tag myself a development language, as I pride myself having worked seriously enough with Simula, Pascal, GW/Turbo/QuickBasic, C/C++, Delphi, Visual Basic and C#.

I used to work for Xceed for the last 9 years, where I had a lot of fun with COM and ATL, and the opportunity to early adopt the .NET technology. This now makes me a .NET developer. You probably won't see much out of me not related to the .NET Framework.

As for the ultimate target for slimCODE Software, I can't tell you more for now. For the moment, slimKEYS is keeping me busy, but something else is on my mind, and I plan on making this upcoming adventure as open as possible.

Until then, thank you for your visit.
