Donald has been recognized by Microsoft for his technical skill and community contribution with the Microsoft MVP award in C# and he is a founding member and current President of the Edmonton .NET User Group. In this interview recorded at GIDS 2008, Donald speaks about how .NET developers have forgotten to implement OO fundamentals on the way and why they should change their ways in order to focus on long-term sustainability and maintainability.

Donald also says he foresees an increased uptake of agile within businesses.
