btw, before I send in all my details, what are your credentials?

Why would somebody like to work with you?

That's a good question.

I've written technical content for O'Reilly, Builder.com, C|NET and ASPToday.com. I am also a co-author of Professional Javascript 2nd Edition and author of "Creating i-Mode Websites using Mobile.NET", an eBook published by WROX Press.

For my work as an author, I am the first Canadian to receive the Microsoft .NET MVP award. In my professional life, I am a freelance developer and a .NET architect for a prominent consulting firm in the Canadian banking industry.

In the authoring space, I'm currently working on two *very* important projects - one of them is this VSTS initiative. Everyone involved in this project is very excited - there is a lot of good karma going around. We are just looking for one more qualified author to complete the team and move forward.

I encourage you to send in your info. I've already received several bios to date and will contact everyone who has applied for the position. The chosen candidate will be picked by Thursday evening.

Thanks and good luck to all the applicants. :)
