ABSTRACT


This will be an informal technical presentation on software development and innovation. Mark will touch on the business, cultural, and technical aspects of software development. As one of the few people at Microsoft who has shipped products as a Software Developer, a Program Manager and as a Test Manager, Mark discusses how management, organization and technical ability all tie in. Those considering employment with Microsoft may benefit from his unique experience in this area.
