Meeting Sacha Barber

If you are interested in cutting edge .NET technology you probably have heard of Sacha Barber. His tour de force on the CodeProject is impressive, to say the least. He is a Microsoft MVP, a CodeProject MVP, and a .NET 3.5 expert. My kind of guy! 😀

I had the pleasure of meeting Sacha recently, while his girlfriend and he were on vacation in New York City. Actually, we had such a great time hanging out that we got together again before they returned to England. Sacha is not only a .NET rock star, but also a very nice and fun guy to hang out with. His girlfriend, Sarah, is top notch, too.

Here are some pictures of two .NET alpha geeks (and a lovely English lady) hanging out together, drinking, eating, and enjoying life. Click on the pictures to view them at full size.

    Nice blog post Josh. We’ll have to sort out a re-run, I need more ribs and that steak man. I’ve raved about that steak man. I couldnt eat for a whole day.

    I had a great time. And let me just say, I think you are ace aswell. Thanks for having me and showing me your great city.

    Sacha, completely off-topic but has anyone ever told you that you look very like Kane Dingle (Jeff Hordley) from Emmerdale 😀
