Starting a Blog

  • Article

While I have been preparing for my TechEd Europe presentation next week, I have been asked several times for the blog address where I will post my slides.  Starting a blog has been on my list of things to do for some time, so I guess this is the forcing function.  I am a Development Manager on the UI Framework and Services team, responsible for ASP.NET and ASP.NET AJAX among other things.  My intent here is to share info about the technologies I work on, and respond to common inquiries about developing applications. Developer feedback is key for guiding our product decisions, so don't hesitate to send me your thoughts. 

A quick note of background about me:  I joined the IIS web server team at Microsoft in 1997 working on what is now generally referred to as "classic" ASP.  I worked on the IIS5 release, shipped the Mobile Controls for v1.0 of the .NET Framework, and then helped deliver .NET Framework versions 1.1 and 2.0.  Now we are working on the ASP.NET AJAX Extensions as well as the next release of the .NET Framework code-named "Orcas."
