hola.  and welcome to my flashy new blog.  my name's jeff callahan and i test microsoft's new build system, msbuild.  i've been a full time tester for msbuild almost a year now, but during various breaks from college i also worked as an intern or contractor on projects under visual basic, exchange server, and visual c++.  but none of those experiences were nearly as cool as my stint on msbuild has been thus far.

why is that?  we're working on an exciting project that i think customers are really going to like.  i'm helping ship the first version of a product and i get to see the important decisions we must make to get it right and out the door.  but most importantly i work with a group of really smart folks who teach me things every day.

so hopefully i can give a bit of insight into how this project msbuild works, what sort of hard decisions we're making to get it shipped, and what cool things i'm learning from the people i work with.

make yourself at home, and don't hesitate to speak up.
