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.

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
