Book review: Mastering Windows 8 C++ App Development
- 08 August 2013
Disclaimer: I am a Microsoft MVP in Visual C++, so is Pavel Yosifovich, the author of the book.
Mastering Windows 8 C++ App Development by Pavel Yosifovich is a new addition to the Windows Store development books. It took me a while to read (304 pages) but is well worth the time from the perspective of a C++ developer. The book obviously went through great lengths to be comprehensive, not only introduced the typical Windows Runtime (WinRT) APIs in a crisp manner but also added a refreshment of C++ 11, the Model View ViewModel (MVVM) pattern, and the Windows Runtime C++ Template Library (WRL). In addition, being a book for C++ developers, the author’s emphasis on performance can be found in several tips and discussions, which is a nice focus for C++ developers. There are also several weaknesses in the book. Introducing WRL before C++/CX may be a poor choice as it is difficult to inspire the reader with laborious code. Also the book could use a few more details on DirectX and some WinRT APIs such as GeoPosition. Nevertheless, the book is an excellent text for the subject and I recommend the book to C++ programmers who want to start developing Windows Store apps and can do research outside of the book.
Microsoft MVP again

The award email is almost identical to last year’s, so I assume Microsoft would go greener and more renewable with the Microsoft MVP award program each year, maybe that’s the reason I got a frosted glass lug instead of a trophy like previous years.
Microsoft MVP, MSDN Forum Influencer
- 30 January 2009
今年微软最有价值专家的奖品好重，是一个很大的水晶奖杯
后面那个红红的忘记是去年的最有价值专家还是最有影响力开发者的奖杯了，前后脚到的。微软中国也比较浪费，不同项目的奖品也不一起邮寄。
刚刚又收到英文MSDN论坛的通知说我是MSDN Forum Influencer，奖励一个背包，我的2004年MVP奖的那个背包要挂了，正好能用上。

Free MSDN Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite with MSDN Premium Subscription for awardee of Microsoft Award for of Customer Excellence/ Microsoft MVP?
- 29 December 2005
Weeks ago I got an email promising free Visual Studio 2005 if I qualify for the Microsoft Award for Customer Excellence from www.microsoft-ace.com, which, according to some Microsoft employees, is a genuine Microsoft program website, but is also registered by a third party, and has a problem with the SSL certificate.
Today, I got a UPS package with 3 Visual Studio Team System with MSDN Premium redemption cards and a Microsoft-watermarked paper stating “thank you for your passionate support for VSTS”… but from www.mvpinvite.com, another website registered by 3rd party and seems has something to do with my MVP membership? So confusing…

Dear Sheng Jiang, Thank you for being a great contributor to Microsoft Visual Studio 2005. You have been nominated to receive the Award for Customer Excellence. This award recognizes your extraordinary contribution to the Visual Studio 2005 product and will be shipped to you without charge. Please click the following link to arrange shipment of your award: (link omitted) Should you have any questions about this award, please contact (email omitted). All the best, S. Somasegar Corporate Vice President, Microsoft Developer Division
However, I’v already got VS2005 from my one year free MSDN Premium Subscription (for Visual Studio 2005), as a part of Microsoft Most Valuable Professional Award package. It may be better if they put something else in the ACE award package …
西雅图MVP峰会见闻
- 03 October 2005
个人觉得这次MVP峰会最大的进步就是技术相关的Session数量大大增加，按照MVP专长来分类；而不像上次那样按主题分类。我只需要在VC产品组的日程里面选择就可以了，而不是像上回那样不得不去听移动开发。当然这回也有MVP不去参加VC的Session，跑去听IE和移动开发。内容方面也比上次活泼很多，Don Box还是那么幽默，比尔·盖茨也有搞笑的演出，不过他看起来比去年七月份在北京的时候老多了。

《转换指南: 将程序从托管扩展C++迁移到C++/CLI》译后
- 17 March 2005
终于把Stan Lippman先生的这篇文章译完了。从去年4月在全球MVP峰会上拿到这篇文章的手稿到现在，差不多一年过去了。虽然当时的Visual Studio 2005还不支持一些语法，但是我和董颖涛对新的C++/CLI语言都很感兴趣，在当时就讨论过翻译的问题。之后我就开始翻译这篇文章，但是进度一直很慢——主要是杂务太多、语言上的困难（尽量避免误解和词不达意的情况，以及斟酌用词的选择）。在1月份完成了全文之后，看到了Sunhui的一篇文章（http://community.csdn.net/expert/Topicview1.asp?id=3834281），觉得附录里面讲到的一些内容或许一些人也有兴趣，所以继续翻译附录的工作，幸好现在是春假，比较有时间，终于在今天完成了。译文目前在http://blog.csdn.net/jiangsheng/archive/2004/10/18/140450.aspx可以访问，希望读者指正。
在翻译过程中得到了曾毅的帮助，得以联系到Stan Lippman先生，在此一并感谢。
A Successful Moment
- 19 January 2005
I am so proud that I was awarded Microsoft MVP (Most Valuable Professional) last year. I was so excited I was sleepless for days. I got an invitation of Global MVP Summit, where I recognized several MVPs and experts in Microsoft and have myself recognized by them. It was the highest horner I had ever been awarded.
I was so inspired that I contributed more in the last year. I am re-awarded this year.
别了，北京 Time To Say Goodbye

docs/blogs/2004/enable_autocomplete_forms_webbrowser_control.rst 今天把MSN昵称改成“别了，北京 Time To Say Goodbye”之后，询问的信息纷至沓来，这肯定是我的聊天工具最忙的一天，同时有人开始组织欢送计划——当然是计划掏我的腰包……。
