About the Author

Scott Allen is a consultant and founder of OdeToCode.com. Scott is also an instructor for Pluralsight--a premier Microsoft .NET training provider and home to many of the top authorities on .NET today. In 15 years of software development, Scott has shipped commercial software on everything from 8 bit embedded devices to 64 bit web servers. You can reach Scott through his blog.

Jeff Atwood lives near Berkeley, California with his wife, two cats, and far more computers than he cares to mention. His first computer was the Texas Instruments TI-99/4a. He's been a Microsoft Windows developer since 1992. Most of his programming was in Visual Basic, although he spent significant time with early versions of Delphi, and now he's quite comfortable with C# or VB.NET. Jeff is particularly interested in best practices and human factors in software development, as represented in his blog.

Wyatt Barnett leads the in-house development team for a major industry trade association in Washington DC. He also writes for SitePoint's .NET blog, Daily Catch, and worked as the Expert Reviewer for this book.

After working hard as a submarine lieutenant, Jon Galloway was amazed to find that people would pay him to goof off with computers all day. He spends most of his time with ASP.NET and SQL Server, but likes to keep involved with a variety of other technologies, including Silverlight, Mono, vector graphics, web technologies, and open source .NET development. Jon co-founded the Monoppix project, has contributed to several open source projects, including SubSonic, and regularly releases open source utilities (late at night, when his wife and three daughters are fast asleep). He's a senior software engineer at Vertigo Software, and blogs.

Phil Haack has over eight years of experience in software development, consulting, and software management, which he puts to good use as the CTO and co-founder of VelocIT. In his spare time, he leads the Subtext open source blogging engine and contributes to various other open source projects. To keep his sanity, he also plays soccer regularly.
