DREW MARSH IN CAREER, PERSONAL | FEBRUARY 9, 2018


CAREER++


TL;DR;

Today marks my first day at Microsoft and I am very excited to finally be here!


MOVING ON FROM MIMEO

For those who might not know my backstory, I’ve spent the past ~18.5 years
helping build a company named Mimeo from the ground up. I am incredibly proud of
everything we’ve built there and am grateful for all the experience I’ve gained
while working here throughout all these years. When I reflect upon everything
we’ve done, the thing I can say I’m honestly the most proud of the thousands of
jobs we’ve created over all the years. Making the decision to finally move on
from Mimeo was not done lightly. I have many friends there who I’ve literally
grown up with, so saying goodbye involved a lot of tears, hugs and love. 😭❤
It’s simply time to take the next step in my career and that step leads me to a
place that shouldn’t come as a big surprise. 😁


MICROSOFT AND ME – YEARS IN THE MAKING

I’ve spent almost my entire twenty-two year career building solutions with
Microsoft technology. From the first versions of IIS, to the original ASP beta
(Denali), to building front ends using Internet Explorer specific features such
as DHTML or active desktop or channels (yeah 😑), to building COM components
with J++ (don’t hate 😜), to the rise of C# and .NET (still going!), to the
early days of WPF (Avalon), to a tangential tech like improving our team’s SDLC
and DevOps processes with VSTS (formerly TFS), all the way through to the
present day where almost everything I’ve been building has been leveraging the
Azure platform in one way or another.


AZURE – IT’S WHERE IT’S AT

It’s that Azure experience that has ultimately lead me to my new position with
Microsoft. I truly believe Azure has the potential to enable and transform every
single business on the planet no matter its size or the market(s) it may be
in. That’s not just marketing hyperbole; I’ve personally experienced it!

In fact, I believe it so much that I’ve joined the Commercial Software
Engineering (CSE) organization where my role will be to help evangelize and
engage with partners in bringing the full potential of the ever growing suite of
Azure offerings to bear. The areas of Azure that I will be focusing on fall into
the platform-as-a-service (PaaS) category. For starters:

 * Serverless – Functions, Logic Apps
 * Containers – AKS, ACS, Service Fabric
 * Big Data – HDInsight, Databricks
 * IoT – Hub, Edge

I already have some good experience with a few of these topics under my belt;
others are brand new to me. Whether it’s my initial dipping of a toe or diving
into the deeper end of the pool, I look forward to sharing my all of my learning
experiences with the community!

WORKFLOW + PORTABLE CLASS LIBRARY (PCL) == NO INTELLISENSE IN VISUAL STUDIO
2012-2013 (WITH FIX!)

A few months ago I decided I wanted to bring some Reactive Extensions (Rx)
awesomeness into some of my custom workflow activities. So, as any good .NET dev
would do, I fired up the Package Manager Console and typed Install-Package
Rx-Main and it installed Rx 2.1 for me. Then I started leveraging Rx APIs in […]

SCRIPTCS.CLRMD – ENABLING RICH, PROGRAMMATIC .NET DIAGNOSTICS

I’ve been tweeting about this for a little over a week now, but I figured it
would make for a good subject for my first blog post since saying I was going to
try for a comeback in 2013 which, otherwise, hasn’t been going so well thus far.
😉 Ok, so if you haven’t already heard […]

BLOGGING COMEBACK 2013…?

Wow, last post was about RTM of VS2010! Where have I been? Well, I got married,
moved across the country (from NYC to SEA) and had two baby boys (ages 2.5yrs
and 2mos). So you’ll have to forgive me for the lack of blogging. 😉 I’m still
working at Mimeo with all the latest and greatest […]

VS2010/.NET4 COMING MARCH 22ND

In case you haven’t heard, VS 2010 and .NET 4.0 are officially scheduled for
release on March 22nd. If you’re into playing with Betas (I know I am) and have
an MSDN subscription you can go download it now. Those of you without
subscriptions will need to wait about a week or so. What I […]

MICROSOFT ANNOUNCES SHARED CDN FOR COMMON AJAX SCRIPTS

ScottGu broke the news last night that Microsoft is making a shared CDN
available for the purposes of hosting the AJAX scripts. The full details of the
scripts that are supported right now are available here, but basically it’s
ASP.NET AJAX 4.0 Preview 5 (which just came out) and jQuery 1.3.2. If you’re
using ASP.NET […]

ASP.NET AJAX 4.0 PREVIEW 5 RELEASED, INCLUDES “DISPOSABLE OBJECTS” PERFORMANCE
FIX!

Good news, ASP.NET AJAX 4.0 Preview 5 is here! Better yet, Microsoft has
overhauled the implementation of tracking disposable objects to include the
performance enhancement that was discussed in my “ASP.NET AJAX ‘Disposable
Objects’ Performance Heads Up” posts (Part I & II). So how’d they do it? They
tag each disposable object with an integer […]

FULL EXPRESSION TREE SUPPORT COMING IN .NET/C# 4.0

Yesssssssss! I’ve been waiting and hoping that this was coming in 4.0 and now
it’s official: Full Expression Tree Support. This seems like a HUGE step forward
to me. With the advent of this feature, one can finally implement support for
converting an expression written in C# to something that runs on the GPU. For
[…]

ASP.NET AJAX “DISPOSABLE OBJECTS” PERFORMANCE HEADS UP – PART II

Ok, I had to put together a Part II to this topic because I was totally wrong in
Part I about objects being able to be used as keys because… well, I’m an idiot
and didn’t do all my fact checking to make sure my implementation was 100%
sound. 🙂 Thanks to Dave Reed who […]

ASP.NET AJAX “DISPOSABLE OBJECTS” PERFORMANCE HEADS UP

Update: Make sure you read Part II as there was ultimately a fundamental flaw in
this implementation which prevents it from working as I originally thought. One
of the important features of the ASP.NET AJAX client side framework is the
concept of disposing of components/controls so that they unregister event
handlers and release DOM element […]
