Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP)
July 1, 2008 @ 9:49 am in Microsoft, Silverlight
I am very excited to say that today I received an email from Microsoft informing me that I have been selected as a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) for 2008. I am not sure I genuinely deserve the honor, but I am very excited for the recognition. My selection is within Client App Dev which affords me the opportunity to remain focus on technologies like WPF and Silverlight.
For those that know me personally, I am extremely passionate about software development and owe my professional success to Microsoft technologies. I love development, and with this honor I am inspired to be even more committed to my involvement in the Microsoft development community. Thanks Microsoft!
