Heath Stewart

As I was routinely perusing the Microsoft Developer Network today I ran across a novel idea: a list of featured Visual C# MVPs. As a former Visual C# MVP myself (before coming to work for Microsoft), I think this is an excellent idea. MVPs are like the right hand of Microsoft, reaching out to the developers in ways that Microsoft can't always ...

In preparation for the biggest release in entertainment history - Halo 2 - I finally decided to buy a wireless bridge. The Linksys Wireless-G Game Adapter (WGA54G) seemed a little pricey at first glance, but after using it tonight I think it's well worth it. Not only should Wireless-G (802.11g) be around for a while, but the device was easily ...

Tonight was the first time I've played Texas Hold'em and gambling with an actual cash buy-in. The first game was cut short but I took a portion of the winnings split between two of us (the other guy had to leave). The second game was full of daring actions from all players. At one point one of the other guys and I bet everything. He already had a ...

Designing and developing applications for the global economy can often be difficult, but the .NET Framework made globalization and localization much more simple.

For almost as many years as I can remember, I've spent my days on the outside looking in. But now I'm here at Microsoft and with my very own blog associated with my most favorite site on the 'net: the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN).Before coming to Microsoft I was the software architect for a startup and pioneered a couple ideas revolving ...
