I'm up on the web!
Ok, this isn't anything too new for most folks, but the "Trailer" for the Total Training series on Expression Blend is on the net. Check it out at http://youtube.com/watch?v=nqgjv0lODYU.
Yeah, that's me. And yes, I'm quite proud of it. :)

About DanteG
Well, I've been in the industry in one form or another since about 1997, when I graduated from Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan.
I worked with Cimlinc as an intern on the now defunct Envelop project when I got laid off and spent some time as a furniture salesman (Yeah, I know...)
Before I finished my degree, I started working for Thedra, writing UI in Tcl/Tk primarily for Sun Solaric and some ancient little Unix boxes that I can't even remember the names.
I moved to tech support for Altair Engineering, where I stayed until they discovered that I knew how to code. I was there as a developer for a couple years until the auto industry led to rounds of layoffs at Altair, and I was one of them.
Then, after 3 months, Microsoft decided that they wanted to give me a shot, so in November of 2002, I went out to be one of the few testers on the newly built "Code Name: Sparkle" project. Sparkle eventually became the Expression Interactive Designer, and finally Expression Blend.
Now, almost 5 years later, I'm still a tester with Microsoft on Expression Blend, but my 'reach' is extended through my Total Training series and here on my blog.
Personally, I'm married (2007 was 10 years), and I have one son who is a Viva Pinata addict.
