Eric Smith is the founder of CodeSmith Tools and CodeSmith Generator. I’m sure many software developers are just as excited as I am to have him as a guest on Simple Programmer. CodeSmith started out as a side project while Eric was working with a company. He ended up leaving that company but negotiated with them to get rights to sell it. To cut the long story short, he made a deal with them and the rest is history.

I’ve actually interviewed Eric on Get Up and Code awhile back, and we talked about CodeSmith and his inspiring weight loss transformation. He also talked a little bit about Exceptionless, a company he just started at the time.  I invited him again to do another interview and talk about it a bit more.
