About the author

Matthias Broschk from Hamburg (Germany) wrote his first goto statements in QuickBasic at the age of fifteen, switched to Visual Studio (i.e. Visual Basic / Visual C++) at version 5.0 and has been an addict of .NET since its early beginnings. There have been many other languages and frameworks (Java, PHP, ... ), but none about which he has been as enthusiastic as .NET. These days you can find more information in blogs rather than anywhere else. Therefore he has decided to share his experiences and start yet another .NET blog.
