While I was at TechEd in New Orleans a couple of weeks ago, I received a bit of surprising news. The great people at Microsoft Patterns & Practices have recognized my community contributions with Prism and Prism for Windows Runtime by honoring me as a P&P Champion. This is not an award that comes with a fancy plaque, or a impressive badge. This is simply a recognition. I see it as a gesture to say “Thank You”…
