Yesterday I was awarded Microsoft Most Valuable Professional in Silverlight. The nomination came based on my involvement with the Silverlight community during my year in Australia. I’m truly grateful for such recognition, and am looking forward to continue to work closely with the Silverlight development community to share knowledge and learn together.

About the MVP program (from Microsoft):

Microsoft is pleased to recognize and award its Most Valuable Professionals (MVPs). We present the MVP Award to thank individuals for their exceptional contributions to technical communities worldwide. When a community participant sees an MVP in a technical community, whether in a newsgroup, as a user group host, a conference speaker, or a respondent in forums, that community participant can be confident that the information shared by the MVP will be of the highest caliber and will help every user make the most of the technology.

As with all important news: It breaks first on Twitter.

Update: My MVP profile is now available online.
