Me, Myself and I

I have to start off by apologising for the slow flow of blog articles the last 3 months but I promise you I had some good reasons… Things have been very hectic!

So, what happened the last 3 months?

On the 1st of April I received the awesome news that I have been selected as Microsoft MVP for Client Application Development!

“Congratulations! We are pleased to present you with the 2009 Microsoft MVP Award! This award is given to exceptional technical community leaders who actively share their high quality, real worl expertise with others.”

I have to thank 3 people without whom this would not have been possible! Ahmed & Eben (From Microsoft) for all their help getting me involved in the community!

Unfortunately putting in extra effort and getting involved in the community also takes it toll on you personal life… I have to thank my loving wife for putting up with me the last 2 years… Dankie my skat!

Tech-ed Africa 2009

I also received the excellent news that I would be presenting 3.5 sessions at this years Tech-ed Africa 2009

  • DTL314 - Creating “real” devices
  • WUX205 - Microsoft Expression Blend from a Developer's Point of View - Part 1
  • WUX201 - Microsoft Expression Blend from a Developer's Point of View - Part 2

Is that it?

Just too prove that I haven’t been sitting doing nothing… here is 2 articles I recently released
