I Received Microsoft MVP for C# 2006

Along with Jeffrey and many others here at CodeBetter, I have also received (others have been renewed I'm sure) the Microsoft MVP Award for C# for 2006. As absent as I have been lately, you’d probably think this would be unlikely, but I did receive it.

For those of you who attended my presentations on CodeSmith yesterday, its people like you who enjoy my presentations and attend that help make my career more gratifying.

For those of you who subscribe to and read my blog, I appreciate your readership and comments. At the same time, personal and family issues that you are no doubt aware of have kept me away from blogging lately. I apologize for that and hope to get back to it later this spring.

Again, thanks to the members of the local user groups, my blog readers and to many other friends who continue to make developing software the 2nd best job in the world after being a dad.

I look forward to another great year of helping the developer community and to help you enjoy software as much as I do.

The last N&N was Feb 20, a month and 1/2 ago. I'm too busy being productive adding business value to our product to blog much considering I am still close to a intra-state move and dealing with the sale of one house and purchase of another. Meanwhile,
