Taken from The 20 second commute: Thursday 7th

Meet Noah Coad Program Manager on the Visual Studio Platform specifically on Testing. If you've downloaded VS2008 beta 2 and opened up a new project you'll immediately notice a new option called 'TEST' on the menu bar. Noah helped push this addition - why should testing be confined to Team Suite versions when every Developer needs access to it.

He presented a fantastic session at Tech-ED US 2007 on testing that's made me seriously question my coding strategy. Check it out !

We have to get this guy over to this side of the pond !!

Taken from The 20 second commute: Strolling around

I want to give a shout out to the Windows Live Team
the creators of this Spaces blog. They've just added the coolest new feature [events] to their toolkit as noted in their blog The Space Craft

Meet Remy Pairault Senior Program Manager on the Windows Live Developer Platform [on right].

Remy and his colleague demonstrated the salient features of Windows Spaces to me at this year's Tech-ED in Orlando. Somehow, we strayed onto the topic of Maps and Mash-ups and Remy demonstrated his favorite Mash-Up which was built at the MVP summit this year by our very own Martin Woodward

It really is a very small global village we live in !!
