Christian Nagel is software architect and developer,
associate of Thinktecture, who offers training and consulting on
how to design and develop Microsoft .NET solutions. He looks back
to more than 15 years’ experience as a developer and software
architect. Christian started his computing career with PDP 11 and
VAX/VMS platforms, covering a variety of languages and platforms.
Since the year 2000 — when .NET was just a technology preview
— he has been working with various .NET technologies to build
distributed solutions. With his profound knowledge of Microsoft
technologies, he has also written numerous .NET books; is certified
as Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT), Solution Developer (MCSD),
and Systems Engineer (MCSE); and is Microsoft Regional Director and
MVP for Visual C#. Christian is a speaker at international
conferences (TechED, DevDays, VCDC) and is the regional manager of
INETAEurope (International .NET User Group Association) supporting
.NET user groups. You can contact Christian via his Web site,

Bill Evjen is an active proponent of the .NET technologies and community-based learning initiatives for .NET. He has been actively involved with .NET since the first bits were released in 2000 and has since become president of the St. Louis .NET User Group (http://www.stlusergroups.org). Bill is also the founder and executive director of the International .NET Association (http://www.ineta.org), which represents more than 125,000 members worldwide. Based in St. Louis, Missouri, USA, Bill is an acclaimed author and speaker on ASP.NET and XMLWeb services. He has written XMLWeb Services for ASP.NET, Web Services Enhancements: Understanding the WSE for Enterprise Applications, Visual Basic .NET Bible, and ASP.NET Professional Secrets (all published by Wiley). Bill is a Technical Director for Reuters, the international news and financial services company. He graduated from Western Washington University in Bellingham, Washington, with a Russian language degree. You can reach Bill at evjen@yahoo.com. Jay Glynn started writing software nearly 20 years ago, writing applications for the PICK operating system using PICK basic. Since then, he has created software using Paradox PAL and Object PAL, Delphi, VBA, Visual Basic, C, C++, Java, and of course C#. He is currently a Project Coordinator and Architect for a large financial services company in Nashville, Tennessee, working on software for the TabletPC platform. He can be contacted at jlsglynn@hotmail.com. Karli Watson is a freelance author and the technical director of 3form Ltd (http://www.3form.net). Despite starting out by studying nanoscale physics, the lure of cold, hard cash proved too much and dragged Karli into the world of computing. He has since written numerous books on .NET and related technologies, SQL, mobile computing, and a novel that has yet to see the light of day (but that doesn’t have any computers in it). Karli is also known for his multicolored clothing, is a snowboarding enthusiast, and still wishes he had a cat. Morgan Skinner began his computing career at a tender age
on a Sinclair ZX80 at school, where he was underwhelmed by some
code a teacher had written and so began programming in assembly
language. After getting hooked on Z80 (which he believes is far
better than those paltry 3 registers on the 6502), he graduated
through the school’s ZX81s to his own ZX Spectrum. Allen Jones has a career spanning 15 years that covers a
broad range of IT disciplines, including enterprise management,
solution and enterprise architecture, and project management. But
software development has always been Allen’s passion. Allen
has architected and developed Microsoft Windows-based solutions
since 1990, including a variety of e-commerce, trading, and
security systems. |
