當選2010年第三季MVP

今天早上收到當選MVP的MAIL，不知道為什麼這次的感覺，是蠻爽的!

可能最近微軟的產品正處於一個新世代的更換，因此連帶著亞當斯在寫書或是開發或是教學的時候，都必須同時具備好幾個不同的執行環境。又是ASP.NET 4.0、又是Visual Studio 2010、又是SharePoint 2010…等等…頭都暈了~

所以很明顯，這一陣子一直狂下載MSDN上的SOURCE，安裝-->執行-->測試-->在安裝…一直都在做這些動作!!而當選MVP的最大好處就是，有一年免費的MSDN訂閱，說老實話，這對亞當斯來說真的是非常之實用，尤其是在這個非常時期。序號不求人，這種feel是很nice的!

以下是MVP MAIL中的訊息，讚，以後要多跟其他MVP交流一下~

親愛的微軟「最有價值專家」(MVP)，您好︰
2010年第三季MVP已於7月1日正式公告，以下是當選名單：歡迎各位MVP與微軟技術社群暨最有價值專家部門一同歡迎新成員的加入~
由於有些MVP希望低調，因此，請各位MVP不要公布當選名單於您的部落格或是社群中，感謝~

當選名單
趙敏翔、xxx...

同時，微微軟技術社群暨最有價值專家部門期望每一位MVP能持續發揮熱心助人的微軟「最有價值專家」(MVP)精神─持續積極參與微軟技術論壇、主動且正確地回答他人技術問題。
