MVP: one more time!

MVP The first email of the year in my inbox is as sweet as last year...
I am renewed as an ASP.NET MVP!

I am very proud to be recognized by this program again and I feel lucky for that. Last year was awesome, I had the opportunity to attend great events like MVP Summit in Redmond, DevTeach Montreal, EnergizeIT in Toronto and several MSDN Canada tours. Also having lots of interactions with the local .NET community through the GUVSM and CodeCamp was a lot of fun and I love that!

In 2008 I will continue to focus on my favorites topics:

  • ASP.NET 3.5
  • ASP.NET AJAX
  • Silverlight
  • Windows Live
  • Expression

as well as data technologies which make my life easier as a web developer:

  • LINQ
  • Entity Framework

This year should be as amazing as the previous one: In march I will go to Las Vegas for the MIX08 and in april I'll go back to the MVP Summit in Redmond. Not to forget the big Launch of 2008 products scheduled in february.
Also I will push things forward for our promising company RunAtServer, which specialize in ASP.NET for the Montreal area.

Let's have fun!
