Change is always difficult and exciting. I’ve been with the Developer Division since I started at Microsoft, working in the same role (Community PM) for a number of different managers. I have now moved to the Windows Phone Team as Developer Community Evangelist: Windows Phone, working for Luke Nyswonger (Developer Content) in the International Content Group under Peter Mabee.
While details are still to be worked out, I believe that what I’ll be doing day to day will not change significantly, except that you will see a sharper focus on Windows Phone development, migrating to Windows Phone and technologies of importance to Windows Phone developers. My podcast, videos and blog will continue, though some of my work may appear in new places, such as the Windows Phone Hub.
I’m looking forward to all of it and hope that you will let me know what you need, what you like and what you want to see improved.
Congrats and welcome to the world of Windows Phones (and hopefully more Silverlight!!)
🙂
Thank you all for your kind words.
Good luck!
Congrats again, Jesse. It has been awesome having you on my team, but I know you’ll do well in your new spot.
Congrats, Jesse! Hope it’s a smooth transition. Looking forward to seeing more of your great work around the WP hub.
