This week, Codificando .NET released the November’s issue of their e-magazine.
It brings an interview I did back in September when I was at the Microsoft Campus in Redmond.
We talked about their careers and about features coming in VB 2005 and got a glimpse on what may show up on post Orcas.
The magazine is in Portuguese, but you can see the original video in English here:
Bring on the VB Ladies!
Microsoft Learning released the beta exam for WPF 70-502 (71-502 while in beta) and you can schedule it for free at Prometric using the following promo code: 502B1*
So prepare yourself and good luck!
Here are a couple of good books on the topic:
Windows Presentation Foundation Unleashed (WPF) (Unleashed)
I’m currently reading this one and I have to say that I’m very impressed. The book is all in full color. Sometimes too much color 🙂 But Adam Nathan really knows his stuff.
Applications = Code + Markup- A Guide to the Microsoft Windows Presentation Foundation (Pro – De
This one is from Charles Petzold. After hearing so much about him, I got a little disappointed with the first book from him I got in my hands: Programming Windows with C# (Core Reference). This new one however was highly recommended, so I bought it and I’ll give it a try probably after reading Nathan’s book.

Here are some pictures taken from the talk I gave last Saturday: "Programando IIS 7" (Programming IIS 7)
A couple of weeks ago I was in Redmond helping to shape what will be the WCF certification exam.
It was very nice to work with those people.

I still haven’t found a good place to host the interview I did with Marcelo Guerra and Veronica Giaudrone back in May. Both are Uruguayan SDETs working at Microsoft in Redmond
While a definite place isn’t setup, you can download the compacted video from my public folders @ Windows Live SkyDrive: http://cid-19d601bd22e34f6e.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/Public
I was looking over the referrals to this blog when I discovered that Microsoft Learning Community was pointing to an entry in the blog. Cool, huh? Maybe it’s time to get this thing rolling again! 🙂
During my trip to Redmond I recorded a couple of videos.
In this first one, I interview the other four SMEs (Subject Matter Experts) that helped developing the Windows Workflow Foundation exam (70-504).

Have fun!
Late last month I took a trip to Redmond to do some consulting for Microsoft Learning.
Together with four other folks, we were responsible for helping designing the Workflow Foundation exam.
Pictures of us can be found in my blog in Portuguese here.
Following are several pictures I took while in Redmond

This place is pretty amazing I should say.
This week I’ll be coming back to the Seattle area – the place where I was born – after 32 years.
My parents lived in several places in the Seattle area, but the one I remember is our last house in Kirkland.
The next week I’ll be traveling to Yuma, AZ – the last town where I lived before moving to Brazil 28 years ago.
Strong feelings coming…
