It’s a GIRL! – new MSDN Community Champion

Community Cheerleading

I just got an email from Susan Wisowaty, a local Burlington woman who is a developer and a professional trainer – okay, a geek – just like the rest of us. Susan has just become the newest MSDN Developer Community Champion. She joins the ranks of folks like Joe Stagner, Russ Fustino, Bernard Wong, Rory Blyth and others around the country who do presentations at the MSDN Events and more. Lucky for us Vermont geeks, she doesn’t have to move, although her territory will be in the midwest – so she’ll be doing a lot of travelling. Don’t be surprised if she shows up on her motorcycle. She’s one cool chick. I’m completely thrilled about this.

I LOVE Betsy Aoki’s new VS column for newbies

Community Cheerleading

This is an awesome way to teach. It’s just like you are sitting there with the person and talking to them. Talking to a real person. I love love love it. Hooray Betsy for throwing off the chains. The title is priceless “Don’t Freak out about Visual Studio“. We know she is living the lesson here, too. So it makes it even better. She is not an expert talking to a newbie, but a newbie saying – “I have been there and I have done that … I know just how you feel!”

The article has this disclaimer, which is important: This is the first installment of the Visual Basic Newbie series written by MSDN staffer Betsy Aoki to help first-time programmers and “Visual Basic Newbies” get accustomed to the concepts and the environment provided by Visual Studio. The series is no substitute for formal study, a book, a good developer-friend, or perusing the MSDN Library, but is meant in a kindly way.

Town Meeting Day in Vermont

Vermont

Today is the day where residents of all of the towns throughout vermont get together to discuss all of the proposed budget and other changes for the town. They spend the morning hashing it out, asking quesitons, etc. In our town there is also a big pot luck hot lunch at the end. Then voting is from 7am to 7pm. My hubby is at town meeting being my eyes ears and conscience. He will report to me when he gets home. Then hopefully we’ll take advantage of the other type of special day it is in Vermont today. A POWDER DAY! Then I can go vote.
