Who am I

“Fred is your man. Don’t be afraid to get in touch with him as he is a social beast. Social media aficionado…

Frédéric Harper is a Technical Evangelist at Microsoft Canada. In the IT world for more than 10 years, his expertise is mostly around Web development with different platforms and technology. If you want to talk about Web, Open Source, Open Standard and Interoperability, Fred is your man. Don’t be afraid to get in touch with him as he is a social beast and a social media aficionado. To know more about him or on any technical and day-to-day subjects, read this blog.

Out of comfort Zone

Out of Comfort Zone is the personal and professional blog of Fred. He used this blog to talk about any day-to-day subject, but also to publish blog posts he did on other websites. You will be able to read topics in English or in French around three main areas: brainer, no-brainer and techno. The techno category contains everything technical or related to the developers’ world. If a blog post is not around IT stuff, and it’s a blog post with some reflexion around society, life or anything else, you will be able to read it in the brainer category. The last, but not least category is for everything that required to brain power to digest: pictures I want to share, funny things that happened to me. It’s the kind of things you usually share on Twitter in less than 140 characters. I hope you will have as much fun to read all my blog posts than I had fun to write them.

I blog, therefore I am

Disclosures

Always in the goal of being transparent as a blogger, I think it could be a good idea to have a disclosure page that will list who I work for, my affiliations with products and things like this. You will also notice that I mention when someone gives me something for free or to review in the blog post. Please note that I review only things I’d love, or things I want to share with you.
