I recently caught up with the great Kate Gregory, C++ MVP, Microsoft Regional Director, and all around excellent developer. Kate and several other MVPs from around the world were on the MS campus to take part in MVP Summit 2011. You will meet other C++ MVPs on C9 over the coming weeks and learn what MVP means—software engineers with a propensity for helping fellow developers get the most out of platform technologies and helping Microsoft do the right thing for developers and ultimately consumers.As Kate says in this conversation, it’s not clear that many other languages evoke so much passion as C++. Why is that? What is it about the language that is emotional? It's always great to chat with Kate. She keeps her hands in many different software development technologies, speaks at numerous technical conferences and has always been a native developer at heart.Thanks and praises to all MVPs!Tune in. Enjoy++
