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!"
- Kevin S. Goff - Microsoft .NET MVP
- "Your open discussion was very
positive and upbeat. It was very unique compared to all of the other
presentations I attended. I feel that the general audience's
perspective was that it was presented very well and the material was
worth while."

and zeal came through very strongly."
