About Kirk Allen Evans' Blog
I am a Developer Evangelist for Microsoft, focused on the Communications Sector vertical industry within North America. I talk to developers in wireline, wireless, satellite, and cable providers about developing solutions using Microsoft technology. I also work with Media & Entertainment companies (think broadcasters and theme parks).
The focus of my blog is largely XML and web services. This is an area I am fairly passionate about, which is a good thing. My customers are the ones that are leveraging web services the heaviest across all industries. Think about it: one huge telco buys another, you have to make their systems interact. The sheer size of the existing systems alone screams for service orientation to gain agility and breathe new life into existing solutions.
Most of my posts are technical, mainly about XML and web services but including other technologies like mobile device programming, CLR internals, or web application programming. I also post about random stuff, from the Georgia Bulldogs to frying turkeys.
