What's Next? -- Phoenix

I'm not sure when we started work on Visual Studio 2005, but it sure feels good to ship it. 

OK, enough reflection on the past. Time to move on...

So what's next -- well at least, what's next for me? I'm actually now transitioning to dive into a project that I had only wiggled my pinkie toe in before. This project is called Codename: Phoenix.

What is Phoenix? Phoenix is Microsoft's next generation platform for generating, analysing, and transforming programs. This is a very broad statement, and I could try to distill it more here, but it would probably be 100x less instructive than if I simply showed what Phoenix is about. So what I'm going to do is to start blogging about Phoenix. I'll still blog about general Visual Studio 2005 things as well, but I will try to focus on Phoenix and some of the uses of it.

Well this first posting has no real content, except a simple introduction, but it is worth pointing out that there is a magazine article on Phoenix (the first and only one that know of) at: https://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/05/11/EndBracket/default.aspx. This may be able to tide you over for a while -- at least until I get my first write-up on Phoenix here.

And BTW, if Phoenix sounds at all interesting to you, we are hiring (and we'd love to find some really strong technical program manager for Phoenix). See this link for more information: https://blogs.msdn.com/kangsu/archive/2005/08/11/450481.aspx.
