Karli Watson is an IT contractor and author, currently working in London in the financial sector. For the most part, he immerses himself in .NET (in particular C#) 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 coloured clothes.
Like other books of its kind...it's long. C# is certainly an easier language than its predecessor (i.e. C++ *groans*), but I think I'm going to shift into python instead.
Overall, a good book to follow. Tutorials are explained clearly. Haven't worked in this book in a while though.
