Experience
Projects and Evangelism
One of the things that I love doing is helping people and organizations adopt new
technologies. Over the past few years I've worked on some great projects to that end. A few
of them are listed below.
WindowsDevPro.com
Blurring the lines between development and IT, WindowsDevPro.com provides bi-weekly email updates on various IT and Development topics. The site is currently slated
for a rewrite (to add more features), but I'm currently having a blast authoring bi-weekly .NET Briefings as a Mentor with the site.
SubservientProgrammer.com
SubservientProgrammer.com was commissioned by Microsoft to show off both AJAX functionality and .NET ClickOnce applications. I provided the coding for
both the web and ClickOnce applications.
MSDN/Technet AJAX Content
I've authored a number of MSDN presentations over the past few years. I'm still waiting for externally available links, but
two projects that I really enjoyed were:
• AJAX Security Best Practices.
• Microsoft ASP.NET AJAX Best Practices
SQL Server 2008 White Papers
In 2007 I was engaged to help Microsoft create White Papers and Datasheets that tout the benefits
of SQL Server 2008 Compact and SQL Server 2008 Express Editions.
Other Web Projects
Additional Web Projects that I've worked on include some samples showcasing how to use a variety of
controls to add presence functionality to corporate applications, and how to best address CSS styling issues
when using ASP.NET controls.
• Presence Sample for Web Based Applications
• Partner Portal Starter kit for Microsoft Expression.

Visual Studio Extensibility
I've also worked a good deal with Visual Studio Extensibility:
• www.vssdk.com - An extensibility 'developer diary' commisioned by Microsoft.
• I also authored the Visual Studio Extensibility Guided Tour which is found on msdn.microsoft.com.
Intel Projects
I've also had the opportunity to work on a couple of great projects for Intel, including
• A number of Virtualization Tutorials and presentations showcasing how to take advantage of VMware and SQL Server.
• A complex Digital Healthcare Sample Application and set of tutorials, designed to showcase how mobile applications
can be used to help healthcare professionals decrease costs and improve patient care.
