Meet Daron Yöndem – Silverlight MVP and Microsoft Regional Director from Turkey
Tell us who you are?
My name is Daron Yöndem. I’m a Microsoft Regional Director, currently a Silverlight MVP leading INETA Turkey. I’m the founder of Deveload Software, an ISV based in Istanbul. For the last five years we are focused on UX as a .NET house. We are building Silverlight and WPF apps including rich multitouch implementations. I have two books about ASP.NET AJAX and one about Internet Explorer 8 development.
Tell us about your MVP history, when were you first awarded?
I got awarded on 2008 as an ASP.NET MVP and had the chance to be one of the first five Silverlight MVPs in the world. It was a great luck to have the new competency declared at the same moment as my renewal period 
I’m an MVP who likes capturing screencast, writing articles on local User Groups and physical interaction which is (for a computer geek) seminars and conferences about technical beauties. I feel very lucky leading INETA Turkey and our 30+ User Groups. We have annual events with different concepts where we get 10+ INETA Speakers and lots of MVPs contributing to the community.

Internet Explorer 8 – Navigating using Accelerators!
Accelerators are new to Internet Explorer 8 and they are designed to speed up your web browsing experience. You may do this by providing fast access to functions that you’d normally take longer to reach through copying and pasting into other sites. Take for example, an address. Maybe you want to get a map to a specific address. You find the address on a website, you highlight it, copy it, open it up in another website like Google Maps or MapQuest, paste it in there and you catch your map eventually.
