Hi, so I thought I should introduce myself. I’m Kathleen McGrath and while this is my first blog, I have been blogging about VSTO for the past 3 years.  I really like VSTO, having come from a VBA developer background and I’m even more excited about it now that they have announced Cypress.  I’ve created a number of videos on how to use various features of VSTO, so I thought I’d provide a link to them in case you haven’t already seen them:

I’m also working on a book with co-author Paul Stubbs called Visual Studio Tools for Office for Mere Mortals. This book is designed for VBA developers who are thinking about moving to VSTO.  I plan to blog more about the book as we get closer to publishing.
