Collaborate Disseminate
It’s Xmas! Well, it was Xmas but I (and hopefully you too) am still in that Xmas period haze where it’s hard to tell one day from the next. Apparently, it’s also hard to remember to hit record before talking about this week’s updates so yeah, good one Troy!

Regular readers will know I create a lot of Pluralsight courses. It’s now 5 years ago I started writing my first one which incidentally, is still my highest rated course every month (apparently the OWASP Top 10 as it relates to ASP.NET is still a big thing). Most of…

Last month, I went to Washington DC, sat in front of Congress and told them…
I actually got a lot of writing done this week! Plus travelled to Sydney and then Melbourne to speak at a couple of events so that’s a pretty good week IMHO. What’s especially good is that there’s no more flights or hotel rooms in 2017 for me!
