I'm just speechless… What an honor to be the first Silverlight MVP
Last week, Scott Guthrie announced the addition of a Silverlight expertise for the Microsoft MVP program. Up until now, any MVPs specializing in Silverlight were part of the Client App Dev expertise. Client App Dev includes Windows Forms, WPF, and Silverlight MVPs. With all of the interest in Silverlight and its strategic importance to Microsoft, they felt that it deserved its own category.
I'm very pleased and humbled to have been named the first official Silverlight MVP. For more about the Silverlight MVP program, please check out Kathy Kam's blog post on the subject:

The MVP program has been very rewarding for me and this is just the latest in a wonderful experience.
