Another opportunity to blog & next generation of Office developer and ITPro content

I’ve been gone for a while and I missed blogging so much!

I had a baby last February and I enjoyed five wonderful months on maternity leave with my little one.

It’s great to be back @ work and I am super excited about the upcoming Office release.

This time I will have the great opportunity to get involved with Office ITPro content as well. My role changed a little bit and my team now owns release & publishing of technical content related to Office products & technologies on MSDN and TechNet.

My team works with multiple technical product content teams @ Microsoft and we release content for Office, SharePoint, Exchange, Lync, and Office 365 for developers and IT professionals. We also manage a few MSDN and TechNet Center sites for these technologies including:

MSDN Office Developer Center MSDN SharePoint Developer Center MSDN Exchange Developer Center MSDN Lync Developer Center MSDN Open Specifications (Learn tab only) MSDN VSTO Developer Center (legacy)

TechNet Office TechCenter TechNet SharePoint Products TechCenter TechNet Exchange Center TechNet Lync Developer Center TechNet Project Server TechNet Enterprise Search TechCenter TechNet SharePoint Server TechCenter (legacy) TechNet Windows SharePoint Services TechCenter (legacy) TechNet PerformancePoint Server TechCenter (legacy) TechNet Project Portfolio Server TechCenter(legacy) We also manage a few pages under: TechNet ForeFrontCenter TechNet Business Intelligence Scenarios

There’s little I can share about the upcoming Office release at this point, but I can tell you I believe this will be one of the most exciting releases I’ve been involved with. I am dying to start creating and releasing content including getting started, what’s new, code samples, roadmaps, how tos, videos, and many others.

Developers and IT pros will have broader opportunities and possibilities thanks to many of the cool features and changes introduced in the next release.

I will be blogging more actively moving forward and will continue to share news related to Office, SharePoint, Exchange, Lync technical content for developers and IT professionals as soon as we get close to Beta and RTM.
