Frederic Harper

Developer Evangelist, Microsoft Canada

Blog | Twitter | LinkedIn

Fred is a developer evangelist known as the French guy. He is based in Montreal, and he is a kind of social beast. He had experience in web development and did some mobile applications with different platforms. If you want to talk about Web, Open Source, Open Standard, Interoperability and the open mind of Microsoft, he is the man. Social media aficionado, you can connect with him on Twitter, LinkedIn or even go read what he thinks about the latest technology or any day-to-day subjects on his blog (in French).
