About the Authors

Hi, my name is Bill Sempf, and I am a software architect. Although I used to
hate the term architect, it’s clearly the only thing out there that defi nes what
I do. My breadth of experience includes business and technical analysis,
software design, development, testing, server management and maintenance,
and security. In my 17 years of professional experience, I have participated
in the creation of well over 200 applications for large and small companies,
managed the software infrastructure of two Internet service providers,
coded complex software happily in every environment imaginable, and made
mainframes talk to cellphones. In short, I make the technology products that
people are using every day play nicely together.

I started playing with computers in 1979 and haven’t looked back since. In
1985 I was helping my father (also named Bill) manage Apple IIe systems at
the local library. Since then I have built applications for the likes of Bank
One, Lucent Technologies, Nationwide Insurance, and Sears, Roebuck and
Co. I am the author of Visual Basic 2008 For Dummies and Visual Basic 2005
For Dummies; a coauthor of Effective Visual Studio.NET, Professional ASP.
NET Web Services, and Professional VB.NET; a frequent contributor to MSDN,
Builder.com, Hardcore Web Services, Cloud Computing Journal, Inside Web
Development Journal, and Intranet Journal; and have recently been an invited
speaker for the ACM and IEEE, DevEssentials, the International XML Web
Services Expo, and the Association of Information Technology Professionals.
I am a graduate of The Ohio State University with a bachelor’s of science
degree in business administration, a Microsoft Certifi ed Professional, a
Certifi ed Internet Business Strategist, and a Certifi ed Internet Webmaster. My
company is Products Of Innovative New Technology (usually called POINT),
and you can reach me at
