Moving to Microsoft

During the past month, I have accepted a new position at Microsoft.  I am now working on the Expression Web project that is part of the Expression Studio product suite.  It’s an exciting time as I am learning my way around the team, product and company.  Expression Web is an excellent web content design tool - from Standards Compliance, to developing cleaner CSS and being able to tie it in with ASP.NET and PHP all make this tool a must-have.

So what is it like to work at Microsoft? It’s awesome – getting dialed in to the team here and getting to know different groups around the company is great.  After spending a few weeks in Redmond at Building 42, I am now working in the Minneapolis, Minnesota development office with a growing team.

What does this change in my blog and projects – namely dotMath?  Nothing really - dotMath licensing stays the same and I will continue blogging here at CodeBetter.   I am looking to resume blogging and focusing on coding issues once again with a whole new set of blog content!

Welcome to the EW team, I hope you will dynamize the dev team. I love the product, it has a huge potential, and I was a disappointed by EW2 and its short list of improvements. Intellisense is the best code completion mechanism in the industry, regardless of platform. I just wish JavaScript support in EW were in part with, say, Eclipse (which I hate using).

The best of luck @ MS! Since an eventful summer and a few high-profile departures, it sounds like Microsoft is becoming more nimble and pro-active: no doubt the addition of your talent was part of that long term strategy!

Keep us posted!

Thank you Pipo - I will.  

We are all very excited and working hard on  Expression Web.  Thanks for the thoughts around code completion and javascript support – I will pass these along to the team as well.
