Thank You Microsoft!
What a great way to start the new year. Tuesday morning (well, afternoon really) I checked my email and saw the following subject:
Congratulations! You have received the Microsoft MVP Award
I've received the MVP award in C# for 2008! I'm very excited about being an MVP again. I was previously an MVP from 2001 - 2006. Since I was so busy in 2006 becoming an independent contractor, my community efforts took a back seat and consequently, my contributions we're not up to the level that the MVP award reflects.
As my consulting work became steady and things were running smoothly, I could dedicate more time to the .NET community (both local as a Vice President of a user group and globally as a member of the INETA marketing team). Thanks again to Microsoft and especially my MVP Lead Rafael Munoz!
