Job #2

I got an email from these guys today after they checked out my Channel 9 screencast series on Windows Mobile development.

We are looking to create new apps for the windows mobile platform and your screencasts are proving very useful in understanding the technical aspect of things.  We are looking to hire great wm5 developers out there and was wondering if you know the best places online to look for these individuals. Please let me know. Thanks.

A job developing for Windows Mobile 5.0? Yeah. To understate it a bit, I’d say that’s pretty bloody neat.
