Brian Underdahl is the well-known, bestselling
author of over 70 computer books on a broad range of subjects. He has
appeared on a number of TV shows, including the Computer
Chronicles, and several TechTV programs, and is the subject
of an hour-long interview on the syndicated Computer Outlook
radio program. One of his titles was recently recommended to viewers
by Scott Gurvey, Bureau Chief, on the Nightly Business Report
on PBS, and his books have won awards including an Award of Merit from
the Northern California Technical Communications Competition and the
Referenceware Excellence Award for best title in the Graphic Design
and Multimedia category.
Brian has been involved in personal
computers from their beginning and has a background in electrical
engineering. His last “real” job was as a Senior Programmer/Analyst
for a large company, where he worked hard to bring the power and
freedom of PCs to the desktops.
Brian figures that it's the
author who should do the work so that readers can get their money's
worth. That's why his books are different - he takes the time to
explain what's going on so that readers can understand the subjects easily.
Darlene Underdahl spent many years as a Quality Assurance
expert. She is applying that “attention to detail” in the writing she
does today. In addition to technical writing, she has written a memoir
of her early years and is gathering notes for future projects. She
works and lives with her husband, the bestselling author Brian
Underdahl, in the mountains above Reno, Nevada.
