À propos de l'auteur

Rob Miles has spent more than thirty years teaching programming at the University of Hull in the United Kingdom. He’s a Microsoft MVP, with a passion for programming, C#, and creating new things. If he had any spare time, he’d spend it writing even more code. He loves making programs and then running them to see what happens. He reckons that programming is the most creative thing you can learn how to do. He also reckons that in a battle between us and the Martians, we’d win, because we’ve got Visual Studio and they don’t–and there isn’t anything better in the universe for building software.
He claims to know a lot of really good jokes, but nobody has ever heard him tell one. If you want an insight into the Wacky WorldTM of Rob Miles, you can read his blog at www.robmiles.com and follow him on Twitter via @RobMiles.
