Hi, I'm Andy Van Steenbergen — a developer from Belgium with a long history in the Microsoft stack, particularly SharePoint. I've been building, debugging, and writing about tech since the SharePoint 2007 days.
What you'll find here
This is my personal blog, recovered and revived from blog.meligo.be. Posts here span more than a decade of real-world problem solving — SharePoint internals, .NET quirks, community events, and whatever I happen to be working on.
Some recurring topics:
- SharePoint 2007 / 2010 / 2013 — deep dives into deployment, web parts, CAML, and the weird stuff nobody documents.
- C# & .NET — server-side solutions, client object model, WCF, and more.
- Community — I've been active in the Belgian SharePoint community (BIWUG) and helped organize SharePoint Saturday Belgium.
- Design & front-end — because a good SharePoint solution needs a good face too.
Community work
I've been part of BIWUG (Belgian Information Worker User Group) for years, co-organizing events including SharePoint Saturday Belgium. The community is what makes this ecosystem worth sticking around for.
