Scott White is a Development Manager at Loomis Inc, but in practice is very active programming. Having lived and gone to school in the Houston area he has accumulated unique experience working on various platforms and languages.  Scott, who considers himself an advocate for free/open source, has worked with ORM within .Net, Java, Python, PHP and considers them essential to most every project. In an editorial targeting DBAs he outlined why Stored Procedures should be reconsidered as a database best practice (http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/Editorial/63870/). He favors NHibernate and Spring.Net and have used them on many current and previous projects.
Scott continues to blog at http://scottwhite.blogspot.com/ while yearning for better ideas and trying to avoid vaporware.
