About

       

ImprovingSplat   My name is Caleb Jenkins, welcome to my blog. I currently work with Improving Enterprises, Inc to mentor teams of developers and software architects for several fortune 100 companies.

You may know me from my work with the Microsoft Corporation as a Developer Evangelist and technology expert, or as a national speaker for the International .NET Association (INETA). I’m also a Microsoft MVP for ASP.NET, a Certified Scrum Master. I’ve worked as a technical editor for Wrox Press, and I was recently a featured presenter on xTrain and Adobe.TV.  I’m also the host, cameraman and editor for http://CommunityCast.tv .

I live in the Dallas area where I continue to date my beautiful wife and busy myself playing Candy Land and Xbox 360 with our four incredible children. Occasionally I write curriculum, speak at conferences, and write code for silly things like Twitter applications. Eventually I’ll post some of the gazillion interviews that I’ve recorded on CommunityCast or blog some more here.

Why Developing UX?
The name for this blog comes from the combination of several ideas. First, that creating (or developing) greater User Experiences (UX) is a process and necessary for better applications. Second, UX is more than UI, more than what you can see. A better user experience involves the entire application. Security, performance, availability - these are all parts of an application that aren’t normally thought of as the UX, but they are and they do. So Developing UX will hopefully be about the merging of great software development with incredible UX.
