We also very happy to help and guide them for any inquiry that may need and also guide them on how to start.

 

If you want my advice, I see that every company that really needs the visit,  it should start the implementation,  as I mention in the session we already contribute a lot of work to the community, like the Visual Guide for TFS 2012 on CodePlex,  MEA ALM Community and many others, so the company should start to watch and  implement the tools, after that ,collect all the questions and issues that they may face and ask them in the visit so they can get a maximum value of the visit.

 

In the visit we will make a gap analysis and guide the company with hands-on activities on how to reach the desired state, we will also guide them on how and where to search for their issues and find it’s solutions.

I am now a DZone MVB (Most Valuable Blogger)!


A couple of weeks ago I just sign the DZone agreement as a DZone MVB (Most Valuable Blogger). If you shouldn’t already know, “DZone is a technology publishing company that produces valuable content for software architects and developers worldwide.”

The MVB program builds mutually beneficial partnerships between DZone and community bloggers whose articles are of interest to the developer community. The program simplifies the process of publishing selected blog articles by MVB members onto DZone’s network of development-focused editorial websites. Through this process, our MVBs enjoy substantially increased visibility and our audience enjoys great content.

As a one of  the community members, yes we always happy with any kind of recognition from the community, we always happy to participate and to be part the community that we really love….we always love and happy to communicate with other geeks and community members that we could share and learn from each other ….we really was born to learn…

I think this will encourage  me to produce more quality posts…and more contribution to the world :-)

Hands-On Visual Studio now online!


On the day of the Visual Studio global launch, I enjoyed the event with our MEA ALM Community team, we celebrated together with the launch and we launched our MEA ALM Community website (Hands-On Visual Studio)
