Reviews

  • "Steve, your user group presentation on 'What's New in VS2008 and Team System" was fantastic.  You have a lot of energy and you showed attendees many great tips for getting the most out of the new tools.  I thought I knew the new tools pretty well, and I still walked away learning a number of things.   I recommend that others attend your sessions.  Two thumbs up!"
