About the Authors
Simon Robinson
Simon Robinson is the editor-in-chief of ASP Today, one of the leading sites
related to Web programming on the Windows platform.

Simon’s first experience of commercial computer programming was in the

early 1980s, when a computer project he was working on at college became
the school’s student timetabling program, running on the BBC Micro. Later
he studied for a Ph.D. in physics and subsequently spent a couple of years
working as a university physics researcher. From there he moved on to work-
ing as a computer programmer, then writing books about programming, and
finally on to his present job at ASP Today.

He has an extremely broad experience of programming on Windows. These days his core specialty is .NET
programming. He is comfortable coding in C++, C#, VB, and IL, and has skills ranging from graphics and
Windows Forms to ASP.NET to directories and data access to Windows services and the native Windows API.

Simon lives in Lancaster, UK. His outside interests include theater, dance, performing arts, and politics.
You can visit Simon’s Web site, http://www.SimonRobinson.com.

Christian Nagel
Christian Nagel is an independent software architect and developer 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 the
Microsoft Regional Director for Austria. Christian is a speaker at international conferences (TechED,
DevDays, VCDC) and is the regional manager of INETA Europe (International .NET User Group
Association) supporting .NET user groups. You can contact Christian via his Web site,
http://www.christiannagel.com.

Jay Glynn
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.
 Morgan Skinner
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.

Since then he’s used all sorts of languages and platforms, including VAX
Macro Assembler, Pascal, Modula2, Smalltalk, X86 assembly language,
PowerBuilder, C/C++, VB, and currently C#. He’s been programming in
.NET since the PDC release in 2000, and liked it so much, he joined Microsoft in 2001. He now works in
Premier Support for Developers and spends most of his time assisting customers with C#.

You can reach Morgan at http://www.morganskinner.com.

Karli Watson
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.

Bill Evjen
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 ssociation
(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 XML Web services. He has written XML Web
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.

Contributor
Allen Jones
Allen Jones has a career spanning 15 years that covers a broad range of IT disciplines, including enter-
prise management, solution and enterprise architecture, and project management. But software develop-
ment 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.

Allen has co-authored four popular .NET books including the C# Programmer's Cookbook (Microsoft
Press) and Programming .NET Security (O’Reilly), and he is actively involved in the development of
courseware for Microsoft Learning covering emerging .NET technologies.

small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to
maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating

charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and
keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in
locations where we have not received written confirmation of
compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of
compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where

we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no
prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in
such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make

any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of
other ways including checks, online payments and credit card
donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.
