About the Authors

Karli Watson

Karli Watson is an in-house author for Wrox Press with a penchant for multicolored clothing. He started out

with the intention of becoming a world famous nanotechnologist, so perhaps one day you might recognize his

name as he receives a Nobel Prize. For now, though, Karli's computing interests include all things mobile, and

upcoming technologies such as C#. He can often be found preaching about these technologies at

conferences, as well as after hours in drinking establishments. Karli is also a snowboarding enthusiast, and

wishes he had a cat.

Thanks go to the Wrox team, both for helping me get into writing, and then dealing with the

results when I started. Finally, and most importantly, thanks to my wife, Donna, for continuing to

put up with me.

I would like to dedicate my work to Mom and Dad, who sacrificed so much so I could have a

Jacob Hammer Pedersen

Jacob Hammer Pedersen is a systems developer at ICL Invia - a member of the Fujitsu Group.

He pretty much started programming when he was able to spell the word 'BASIC', which, incidentally is the

language he's primarily using today. He started programming the PC in the early 90s, using Pascal, but soon

changed his focus to C++, which still holds his interest. In the mid 90s his focus changed again, this time to

Visual Basic. In the summer of 2000 he discovered C# and has been happily exploring it ever since.

Primarily working on the Microsoft platforms, other expertise includes MS Office development, COM, COM+

and Visual Basic .Net.

A Danish citizen, he works and lives in Aarhus, Denmark.

Morgan Skinner

I started my computing at a tender age on a ZX80 at school, where I was underwhelmed by some code my

teacher had put together and decided I could do better in assembly language. After getting hooked on Z80

(much better than those paltry three registers in 6502 land!) I graduated through the school ZX81s to my own

ZX Spectrum.

Since then I've used all sorts of languages and platforms, including VAX Macro Assembler (way cool!),

Pascal, Modula2, Smalltalk, x86 assembly language, PowerBuilder, C/C++, Visual Basic, and currently C#.

I've managed to stay in the same company for nearly 12 years, largely down to the diversity of the job and a

good working environment.

In my spare time I'm a bit of a DIY nut, I spend lots of money on bicycles, and 'relax' by fighting weeds on my

allotment.

I can be reached by e-mail at morgan.skinner@totalise.co.uk .
