MSDN Technical Editor

In 2000 I was very lucky to be asked by Microsoft UK to be the Technical Editor for a new area within the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) website. The aim of the site was to provide a Microsoft forum to support developers in the creation of component software.

My role, which was a part-time concern, was to review all material for technical accuracy and relevance to the site and, where applicapable, to liaise with the authors directly to discuss any issues or queries that I had. Examples of some of the authors who wrote for the site are Don Box (architect of the SOAP protocol) and Dan Appleman.

As is well known with the Internet things come and go so very quickly these days and the site no longer exists, but it was a very enjoyable experience doing it.
