Wanted to emphasize that those in our field (specifically in computer Development/Architecture) either continue our education nearly every day, or settle into “comfortable” obscurity. The latter being a very dangerous place to be in these times – and not someplace I ever see myself.
And I was very pleased when I received an email from InnerWorkings – a company/software application that I started using when I taught .NET training courses at FirstData ( see my previous blog posting: Case Study: Many .NET teams are underperforming… is yours? ) – with a Certificate of Achievement for my 50th Task completion – which I received as I’ve been working through some of their new training modules, continuing my exposure and enhancing my understanding of new materials. May be trivial to some, but kudos to InnerWorkings for recognizing and inspiring.
And on another note, kudos to all the members our our Madison .NET user group ( www.MADdotNET.com ), these are the people who especially in these uncertain times, show their dedication to sharing, learning and enhancing peer-to-peer knowledge related to .NET technologies ... proving themselves to be the leaders in our field -- today, tomorrow and beyond...
