Its time to announce the Winners for our Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 with MSDN Giveaway. Initially we planned to announce the Winners on 20th July but we had a tough time selecting the winners because of 60+ wonderful entries.
To make it fair I requested my friend Victor Gaudioso to choose the winners. Here is a brief summary about him
Victor, a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) and Microsoft Solutions Advocate is an independent Windows Presentation Foundation / Silverlight / Windows 7 Mobile / Surface developer, instructor (classroom / video tutorials / written articles), published author (Foundation Blend 2: Building Applications in WPF and Silverlight (2008), Foundation Blend 3 with Silverlight (2009)), and public speaker.
Victor has over 10 years experience in the web and software development industries and has worked with large Fortune 500 companies such as Microsoft, Universal, Warner Bros., Disney, Mattel, and Paramount Pictures. Victor has worked on some of the most cutting edge WPF and Silverlight applications that have been developed to date; including the Microsoft Surface Winebar CES demo , Surface Air Hockey with simulated physics, and the Surface EventPhotos application which both debuted at PDC in 2008. Victor was also part of the team that launched the Microsoft Silverlight Entertainment Tonight Emmy mini-site, one of the very first Silverlight applications to market. He is also a Microsoft MVP
