Fun Software Projects
	SQL Flash Cards A cool tool I wrote to help me remember everything I want to know about SQL Server. Also helps study for SQL exams and MCM exams. It runs on SQL Azure and I wrote it using MVC 3, Razor, EF 4.0, and JQuery. I also added the source code to CodePlex if you want to download it and learn how this was written: http://sqlflashcards.codeplex.com
