Behind the Scenes at Microsoft
Thursday, October 29 2009 - silverlight, pdc
I’m a little over a week into my new role as the Silverlight Evangelist at Microsoft and so far it has been a blast! I’ve had a lot of joking questions about how much the implants hurt when they put them in, so I thought I might share with you all a quick behind the scenes looks at the new recruits getting their implants. As you can see, they only had to remove my head for a little while.
Yes, I am kidding.
Seriously though … I’m really enjoying working here, the people are brilliant and great to work with, and the work is very fulfilling. Currently I am preparing a session for PDC titled “Advanced Topics for Building Large-Scale Applications with Microsoft Silverlight”. So if you are heading to the PDC, be sure to check it out!

Funny. Congrats and hope to see you in LA.

John,
Congratulations on the new position!
I've attended your presentations @ Miami, Florida area User Group events. Also, I purchased the Data-Driven Services with Silverlight 2 book.
80% of my work is developing Silverlight-based web apps
- Expression Blend + Visual Studio 2008 / 2010 Beta 2!
Best regards, Rob
John,
Love the book, looking forward to your talk at PDC, See you there.

Wow John, Congrats on the Silverilght Evangelist Position. I hope to find myself in your shoes up here in Canada some day. I did my first Silverlight presentation infront of my UG tonight. Keep up the good work, and hopefully we'll cross paths in the future!
