Hello World!
What better way to announce a new host for The Microsoft Developer Show than to use the defacto standard for testing any new technology - writing Hello World! As you might guess this post has a number of purposes:
Firstly, it of courses tests that all the technology is working and that we can of couse see “Hello World!” when I hit submit on this post.
I of course need to pay homage to Dr Peter Stanski the previous host on this show. Anyone who has met Dr Pete will know that he is a vast wealth of knowledge when it comes to .NET and he leaves rather large shoes at the door to The Podcast Network into which I’m supposed to fit!
Lastly I would like to thank Mike and Cameron at The Podcast Network for giving me the opportunity to hop on board and get The Microsoft Developer Show back on the road.
Before I go I suppose that I should give a brief introduction about who I am. Well firstly my name is Nick Randolph and I currently work for Intilecta based initially here in NZ, but returning to Perth at the end of the year. Secondly, I’m a Microsoft MVP - Device Application Development (ie .NET Compact Framework) on which you can find more information here. My most recent achievment is that I am officially published with a book titled Professional Visual Studio 2005. Lastly, with whatever free time I have, I do some other activities through SoftTeq, such as helping run the Perth .NET Community of Practice.
Well, that’s enough about me. Join me over the coming weeks as we get down and dirty with all things Developer about Microsoft.
