Welcome to my web site!

A little bit about me...
My name is Kevin Carbis and I have been a professional programmer since the early 90's when Visual Basic 3.0 first came out. I had been playing with Basic since the mid 80's when I bought a commodore 64 and eventually changed careers from an electrical engineer. Since then my passion has been programming and I am usually doing something related to it. My primary language is VB but over the years I have added C# to my arsenal. I currently work full time out of my home for a local company and also have a business I run on the side.  Carbisoft LLC is my company and I do all the development for my applications that are found at www.staffinder.net. My focus over the last 4 years has been  building web and mobile applications in ASP.Net but now I am switching gears back to windows development for my next project.  I also do contract work and consulting on the side.  As you can imagine I stay pretty busy.

Over the years I have always been on the lookout for good controls. Anyone remember those vbx files? I rarely buy controls for my applications unless its absolutely necessary. Infragistics has been one of those I have used over the years and honestly I hate their products. So, I decided its time to pay back for all those times when I grabbed a free control and ran. Visual Studio .Net has made it so easy to author your own controls that I don't see myself buying a control ever again. Thanks Microsoft for OnPaint().  So my vision is to create a site where developers can come to get high quality controls for free.
