Microsoft 

My responsibility at Microsoft as a .NET Subject Matter Expert was  to write code for demos and labs and ensure the technical accuracy of Microsoft Official Curriculum courses, used worldwide as the definitive source for developer and IT pro training.

Annual Performance Review August 2002

"Mark you have done an awesome job this review period. Your deliverables were of excellent quality, timely, creative, and you were supportive of other team members. Your performance clearly exceeded expectations."

"2657. This course wasn't even in our plans to build. You came up with the idea and were able to sell it up the management chain. You were able to develop this course in record time, with minimal issues and on top of other projects on your plate. This is a good example of going the extra mile. Good job!"

"You are very easy to work with, ready to hear other's point of view, and always looking for the best way to get things done. It's clear that you have been performing at a higher level and it's my pleasure to have the opportunity to reward your contributions by promoting you to the next level in your career ladder."

"It is an excellent course and was in better shape than any other beta course that I have attended." -- Beta attendee for 2389A Programming with ADO.NET

"Mark and Chris turned out a VERY clean course that was easy to work on and test. These guys did good work and handled the inevitable bugs quickly and professionally, without complaint. Test can't ask for more than that. Great job!!!" -- Ed Drabb, Test Lead

"As a dev side member of the 2389 Triage Team, Mark fixed a great many bugs. But Mark didn't merely resolve the bugs, he made excellent decisions on how best to approach the bugs and assay the impact of each fix on the rest of the course, and the rest of the team. And Mark approached each issue with his usual equanimity and efficiency." -- Jeff Mandell, Instructional Designer

"Special thanks go to Mark Price for coming up with the idea [of course 2657] in the first place, and to Mark and Chris Baca for kicking the content out in record time, no fuss, no muss, no bother. The entire project from inception to RTM took 12 weeks, and this was with things like the .NET developer t-prep and 2389 development on top. (Oh, yeah. Christmas and New Year also fell in there somewhere.)" -- Steve Merrill, Program Manager
