Framework Design, Agile Coach, President Oklahoma City Developers Group, Microsoft MVP C#, TDD, Continuous Integration, Patterns and Practices, Domain Driven Design, Speaker, VB.Net, C# and Sql Server
A big congrats to all the Microsoft MVPs who were awarded or reawarded on the April cycle. I know both me and my good friend Sahil were both reawarded, and before I finished this post I saw Frans was too. Its a lot of work, a lot of community outreach and time that could be spent with our families, fishing, golfing, hunting (Sam's favorite pasttime), gaming with friends or just vacationing in our own backyards. MVPs spend a lot of time not only reaching out to the community and spreading the knowledge, but also research and development into new technologies, methodologies and things of the sort. There is a lot of work behind the scenes a lot of people don't see.
Congrats and don't forget to nominate those in your community who do the same!
