The division, made up from parts of several other divisions, will be responsible for promoting developer tools for Microsoft's .Net software platform with books, online learning, courseware and exams. The division will also run Microsoft's corporate Web site.
Developer and Platform Evangelism will push Microsoft's XML Web services as part of Microsoft's Platforms Group, which also includes Windows and Microsoft's .Net Enterprise Services platforms. The company faces competition from rivals such as IBM and Sun Microsystems in the Web services market.

Rudder's primary responsibility will be the promotion of the Visual Studio.Net developer package.
