This happy coder has read most of the noob tutorials on crossplatform c# .NET, but finding a lot less information about how to move forward. He's not only read, but has made a few simple gui applications.
Happy coder has two teen boys who also are into programming, so it is a crazy household for his wife who is not a programmer, but she mildly appreciates what they do.
He loves to sing, play guitar, bass, drums, harmonica (read "harp") to the Creator and Redeemer. He also loves to draw, paint, and make art. The picture is his rendition of a Van Gogh drawing from 1882 entitled "Man reading the Bible".
CHEERS and happy coding to you!
