Sara Finishes Her Visual Studio Tips Book
One of my good friends Sara Ford finally finished her Visual Studio Tips book, based on her super popular tip-of-the-day blog series she started over a year ago when I first started Microsoft.
The amazing thing about the book is that she's dedicating 100% of the profits to create a scholarship at the Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College for anyone living in her hometown of Waveland, Mississippi, which was destroyed during Hurricane Katrina. Microsoft matches any employee's donations to charities so this is a really big help for students in Waveland.
I'm so happy Sara finally finished it! I'm so proud of her. Tonight I'm buying the beer. ;-)
Go Sara, go!
