About the Authors

Alex Homer is a computer geek and Web developer with a passion for ASP.NET. Although he has to spend some time doing real work (a bit of consultancy and training, and the occasional conference session), most of his days are absorbed in playing with the latest Microsoft Web technology and then writing about it. Living in the picturesque wilderness of the Derbyshire Dales in England, he is well away from the demands of the real worldwith only an Internet connection to maintain some distant representation of normality. But, hey, what else could you want from life? You can contact Alex through his own software company, Stonebroom Limited, at [e-mail].

Dave Sussman has had proper jobs and reels at the thought of having to do so again. He spends most of his life immersed in alpha and beta technologies, learning all he can and writing and speaking about them. He is still convinced that .NET is the best thing Microsoft has ever released, and never ceases to be amazed at how much better it keeps getting. Like Alex, he lives in a quiet rural villageone of those people call quaintand still hasn't finished decorating his house. But then it's only been four years. You can contact Dave though his company, ipona limited, at [e-mail].
