Chuck Sphar escaped Microsoft’s C++ documentation camps in 1997, after six years’ hard labor as a senior technical writer. He’s perpetrated two previous tomes, one on object-oriented programming for the Mac and one on Microsoft’s MFC class library. He’s currently finishing a novel about ancient Rome (againstrome.com) and gobbling mouthfuls of .NET programming. Chuck can be reached for praise and minor nits at csharp@chucksphar.com.
