It's been a great (and busy) summer and I took a hiatus from my blog (as you may have noticed). I will attempt to get reconnected with my blog starting today.
I'm heading down to the PDC next week and am looking foward to talking with as many of you as I can. I will be at the Visual Studio booth on-and-off as well as hanging out in the Tools & Languages track lounge. Stop by if you get a chance. The following are great talks that my team is doing that will be well worth your time:
