Suddenly in Seattle ...
This week I unexpectedly found myself at Microsoft in Seattle. I was contracted by Microsoft Learning as a Subject Matter Expert to do some work on a couple of their upcoming certification exams for developers. It was my first time engaging with Microsoft in this area and I found it very interesting and challenging. There is actually a very well-defined standard process that the development of every exam must go through, before it is offered as a "live" exam. It was an interesting few days - and then I had also made some time to meet with other contacts at corp to see what is going on inthe differnet groups, especially as they are all gearing up for the new fiscal year (July 1).

Notes on TechEd Israel 2008
Last week was the (now) semi-annual TechEd Israel conference. This was my sixth time participating in this event - I have given presentations at all six TechEds here. The conference is an amazing experience and has come a long way from 2000/2001 when we had to lobby Microsoft Israel to put on such an event. There were about 3,500 participants - about half the amount of TechEd EMEA for all of Europe!
