MVP - Visual Client Application Development
Like Grant, I too returned home tonight from Code Camp OZ to receive some outstanding news:
Congratulations! We are pleased to present you with the 2007 Microsoft® MVP Award!
I too should thank Darren for the nomination, as well as for being a real role model to me over the last couple of years. Darren was the first MVP that I ever met as is one of the most community-minded people I know, so I’ll certainly be trying my best to meet the bar that guys like Darren have set.
I’d also like to thank:
- The the SNUG, the SDNUG, the NCG and the WDNUG for giving me so many opportunities to present on Windows Forms and WPF technologies
- Paul Glavich and Joseph Cooney for putting up with me almost every day for the last year
- The DPE guys, namely Andrew, Frank and Chuck
- Readify and all of the guys and gals there, for creating an environment that has really fostered my growth over the (almost) 12 months I’ve been at the company - some that deserve a special mention are Chris Burrows, Grant Holliday, Daniel Crowley-Wilson and Corneliu Tusnea.
Over the coming months I’ll be giving more presentations on Windows client technology, with my WPF talk in Newcastle (and hopefully Canberra if they’ll take me
) and hopefully soon a presentation in Sydney on Domain Modelling (dates to be confirmed). I hope to use some of the insights I’ll gain as an MVP to continue to teach ways to use things like data binding and WPF, and to also better communicate the needs of rich client developers back to Microsoft.
Congratulations Grant and everyone else who was lucky enough to be selected this round.
