Why I Quit My Job: So I Can Podcast More for You
I Quit With a Smile on My Face
I recently quit my job for a much bigger and decidedly better opportunity. I am elated to announce that I have accepted a new position with Infragistics as a New Media Evangelist. This means that I get to spend my days doing the things I love in hopes that I can help bring the developer community closer to a great company.
What does this mean for the Polymorphic Podcast?
I see great things on the horizon. While I retain 100% control over the show, Infragistics is allowing me to spend time during my workday on development and production of the show. In the past I have always had to steal an hour here or an hour there to work on production, but now I have dedicated time to apply to the growth the Polymorphic Podcast.
What this does not mean is that the Polymorphic Podcast is now a corporate extension of Infragistics. You don’t need to worry that I will be dropping the URL of my employer all over the place. There is no veiled marketing going on here. Infragistics just realizes there is a lot of value to keeping me connected to an established community. I thank Jason Beres and Ambrose Little for their hard work in making this happen.
So When Do You Get a New Show?
How about three? I’ve been promising you a video on how to install Subversion on a Windows box. Wait no longer because that video is now here. I have also recorded a show demonstrating how to use a new utility I call MVP Commander (thanks Rob Conery!) that generates MVP stubs right in Visual Studio. This way you are not forced to go to the tools page on my website to generate this code. Please checkout the notes and download links for the code and video here. Finally I recorded an audio catch-up show to announce my affiliation with Infragistics, tell you about the video shows and answer some reader email. You can listen to the show on the MVP Commander show-notes page.
Get Ready!
Between the work I am doing on my blog and podcast, the new podcasts, videos and screen-casts coming from the Infragistics website, and some appearances I am making at user groups and conferences throughout the year - some of you might be regretting asking for more! ;)
