Author Biography:
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.
