Last day on Tech-Ed Eilat 2010, and Finally after tons of work on the last two days I have the time to hang around as a participate in some lectures, and what can I say? we have a great team of speakers here that you just sometimes frustrated that you can’t be in more than one place at a time (at least we have the lectures recorded. ) Anyway, the real reason for this post is to get your attention on the new .NET SDK 1.3 for the Azure platform and the availability of the new portal which I...
After working with Microsoft as a partner, consultant and lecturer for around 12 years, I decided to join Microsoft and work as a full time employee with this great team that I so appreciate.

After almost 10 years, I'm leaving Sela, and I'm going on a new path. It's been a wonderful period that besides of giving me the opportunity to deep dive into enormous amount of materials and technologies, it gave me the opportunity to meet great colleagues and top of the line professionals, some of them were already there, and some of them joined Sela over the years. Working in Sela was like a second home, you are always treated nicely, and you are always welcome to say what you think...
I’m honored to say that I got the Microsoft MVP award for ASP.NET once again. The last year was really exciting on the Web Development part, and I was really happy to see so many developers that “webify” their applications, and that got so much interest on different web technologies, web architectures and integrated scenarios. I sure hope that the next year will be another good year on the web side, for ASP.NET web forms, ASP.NET MVC, ASP.NET Dynamic Data, Silverlight, IIS, jQuery, and well...

Programming ASP.NET Applications that really works is not an easy task, and finally on the last version of ASP.NET 4 Microsoft did it, and many features that were missing on previous versions made it to this platform. There are a lot of new versions of many Technologies that made it through the phase of being released to manufacture, and I guess that in every new technology, the first question that come to mind is “It’s great that Microsoft are working hard, but… hmm… what’s in it for me?”, well...
