About 3 months ago our team made a great acquisition - Andrew Shorten.
Andrew has been helping developers, partners and customers leverage the Internet as an application platform over the last 8 years; from designing & building web-based solutions for enterprise customers at Fujitsu, through to evangelising about the importance of user experience and smart client technologies at Macromedia/Adobe. Andrew believes that experience matters and nowhere is this more important than when accessing services, applications and content online – he is excited by the opportunities that “Web 2.0” and rich Internet applications present to deliver applications that people actually want to use and which deliver real business benefit.
One of the great things about having someone with this experience is they can relate first-hand the strengths, weaknesses, and unique opportunities Microsoft's client / web technologies present for custom development agencies.
In light of this, Andrew put together a series of quick 5-minute guides to several Microsoft technologies from a non-Microsoft perspective. Check them out:
