I just got the e-mail this morning that I am a C# MVP for the second year in a row. I am very excited about this and I am really looking forward to being involved in the developer community in 2010 (as well as seeing many other MVPs at the Summit). I am also looking forward to producing tons of great content on this blog.
So, what are my focuses going to be in 2010?
- Well, I made a few posts on learning Scala which trailed off after a bit. I'd still like to learn more about Scala. It probably isn't a language that I'd use much in my work (especially with the CLI version far behind the JVM version), but I think it is very interesting and could provide a lot of cool ideas.
- I'd also like to learn a good bit more about F#. I've dabbled, but I've really never dug deep into it. This is one area that I'd like to look into and blog about more.
- I'd also like to explore some cloud offerings more, in particular exploring Windows Azure.
- In the short term I'd like to start exploring some of the newer additions to the .NET 4.0 framework. I can't decide if I want to start blogging these before or after VS2010 comes out. I guess it really depends on how much time I have!
I have a ton of other ideas and topics that I want to blog about in 2010, we will see how much I can get through!
Right now I am working on a screencast series for TekPub on LINQ. You should start seeing those show up real soon!
So, cheers to 2010, it looks like it is going to be a good one!
