Charlie Calvert's Community Blog https://docs.microsoft.com/archive/blogs/charlie/feed.xml Fri, 24 Jul 2015 05:31:38 GMT en-US hourly 1 Charlie is Moving On https://docs.microsoft.com/archive/blogs/charlie/charlie-is-moving-on Tue, 31 Aug 2010 14:38:56 GMT https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/charlie/2010/08/31/charlie-is-moving-on/ After four wonderful years, I’m leaving my position as a Community Manager at Microsoft. I’ve had a wonderful time working with the C# and the .NET communities and will miss you all.

I have no immediate plans to continue this blog elsewhere, but if I do engage again online you will probably be able to pick up the thread on my Elvenware site. It is currently very out of date, but hopefully I will find time to refresh it over the coming months:

Thank you for all your support and enthusiasm! Please continue to enjoy writing code and continue to explore the wonderful world of computers!
