current role as a .NET technology evangelist for Microsoft. In working with over a half-dozen

publishing companies, Michael has written numerous technical articles and written or

contributed to almost 20 books on numerous technical topics, including Visual Basic, Visual

C++, and .NET technologies. He is a prolific supporter of the Microsoft certification

and business consultant to Tokyo-based Global Online Japan, he returned to the States to

climb the corporate ladder. He has held assorted roles, including those of IT manager, field

This book is dedicated to my uncle, Brian Weston, who didn't seem to

mind when I came to visit and spent all day with his TRS-80 Model II.
