Steve’s Newsletter–June 2011

Did you notice that it’s June, too?  If you work in the field at Microsoft, you’ve probably been preparing for the last month of our fiscal year by either setting a “1 month” reminder or actually ripping the month right out of your calendar (sorry, you can’t do that in Outlook.  Feature request, maybe?).

So this edition of the newsletter is being written in parts at an airport, on a plane, or quietly downstairs in my home office.

Final Thoughts

I’m officially “in role” in Southern California again (additive to my current areas) alongside William Salazar.  If you have development teams in SoCal, give me a shout, as I’d love to see how I can help you get the most bang for your buck out of your Microsoft development products.

This newsletter will probably take a month off in July as I hope to catch up on my “work/life” balance.  :)

I receive a lot of email each week from you asking very specific, and valuable questions. It’s my hope that a newsletter like this will help me communicate important announcements, tips/tricks, and other items to help you and your team ultimately be more successful! Whenever I post a new newsletter, I will send email notifications to those of you who would like to be contacted. If you don’t want to receive email notifications, just let me know !
