ABOUT THE AUTHORS
KARLI WATSON is consultant at Infusion Development (
www.infusion.com
), a technology architect at
Boost.net (
www.boost.net
), and a freelance IT specialist, author, and developer. For the most part, he
immerses himself in .NET (in particular C# and lately WPF) and has written numerous books in the
field for several publishers. He specializes in communicating complex ideas in a way that is accessible
to anyone with a passion to learn, and spends much of his time playing with new technology to find
new things to teach people about.
During those (seemingly few) times where he isn’t doing the above, Karli will probably be wishing
he was hurtling down a mountain on a snowboard. Or possibly trying to get his novel published.
Either way, you’ll know him by his brightly colored clothes. You can also find him tweeting online at
www.twitter.com/karlequin
, and maybe one day he’ll get around to making himself a website. Karli
authored chapters 1 through 14, 21, 25 and 26.

ABOUT THE AUTHORS
MORGAN SKINNER began his computing career at a young age on the Sinclair ZX80 at school, where
he was underwhelmed by some code a teacher had written and so began programming in assembly
language. 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#

joined Microsoft in 2001. He now works in premier support for developers and spends most of his time
assisting customers with C#. Morgan wrapped up the book by authoring chapter 27. You can reach
