Microsoft Blogs I Read

  • Article

There are a lot of Microsoft bloggers, literally thousands of them. When I first joined Microsoft I wasn't sure who to read. I've gradually built up a list based on interesting product and feature announcements and people I've met. Here they are:

Profiling

  • Our Team Blog
  • IanWho's Blog. Written by a fellow dev on the profiler team, Ian has probably written the most about profiling across the team.
  • joc's bLog. Written by my bosses' boss.
  • mgoldin's blog. Written by a senior dev on my team. Find out about the difference between different types of samples etc.
  • My Code Does What?!. A relatively new blog about profiling by another fellow dev.
  • scarroll's Blog. Written by my boss.

Technical

  • bharry's WebLog. Written by a Technical Fellow (read more about this) with a huge amount of experience who has a big focus on TFS.
  • Greggm's Weblog. Written by a senior dev on the Debugger team. Has many advanced debugger tips.
