Who do You Want to Read?
So I've been at this job for a couple of months now, and feel as though I'm finally starting to get my head out of the day-to-day tactical stuff and look at what we do as a magazine from a more strategic viewpoint (I'm still a little bit more tactical than I like, but all things in due time <g>).
At any rate, those of you who have been reading this blog for a while know that I'm pretty big on asking questions - and while I'll start posting and cross-posting on the MSDN Magazine blog, I thought that this would be a nice forum to post this question, because there's a greater chance that not as many of you read the magazine compared to those who visit the magazine blog - and I'm, of course, very interested in changing that <g>. Therefore, this question applies to everyone.
One of the single greatest things about MSDN Magazine in my opinion is that our authors are some of the biggest names and brightest minds in the industry. If we want to run an article on Windows programming, we can go straight to Charles Petzold. COM? Don Box is just an email away. I want to make sure that we always have this level of contribution to give to you, so here's the question.
Give me a "top 10" list of folks that you would want to see write for the Magazine. Your list can include anyone from Bill Gates to Bjarne Stroustrup (I even had someone suggest Steve Jobs). No limitations - no constraints - who would you want to read?
I am currently the Editor-in-Chief for MSDN Magazine. I joined Microsoft in 2006 as a product planner with the certification team at Microsoft Learning. Prior to that, I spent my career as a developer and later as an architect. My main technology passions include pretty much anything on language theory, agile development, and service-oriented architecture.
