David Burela works full time as a Senior .Net consultant for the Australian consulting firm Hazaa (http://Hazaa.com.au).
He also holds Microsoft certifications, making him an Azure Microsoft Certified Professional Developer (MCPD) and a Silverlight Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS). At university, he did a Bachelors in Computer Science, a Masters in Computer Science, and an MBA (Masters of Business Administration). He uses this unique mixture of technical and business skills to help the clients he consults for.
David loves researching the latest cutting-edge technologies and frameworks, and has heavily invested in Windows Azure, Silverlight, and Windows Phone 7. This passion for researching and learning sees him helping out the developer community. He ran a local .Net user group for three years, and currently runs the Melbourne Silverlight User Group. While running user groups is enjoyable, presenting at them is more fun. He keeps his presentation skills sharp by delivering talks every few months on a variety of topics.
David has been recognized for his abilities and contributions with numerous awards. In 2007, David was acknowledged for his contributions to the community and was a state finalist for the "Young Australian of the Year" award of the Australian Government.
In 2008, David entered into a global programming competition run by Microsoft and competed against winning teams from over 80 different countries. David and his team won the global competition with their cloud-based agriculture system that would assist farmers and growers in drought-stricken regions. In 2010, David entered into another Microsoft programming competition, this time for Windows Phone 7, and came runner-up for his submission. The phone application notified the residents of Sydney, Australia of the safety of swimming at the local beaches for the current day.
I would like to thank my employers, past and present, for all the opportunities that have helped me in writing this book. Without their support and trust in allowing me to research the cutting-edge technologies, I would never have made it to this point.
A big thank you to my friends, for understanding why I have missed out on many social events during the writing of this book.
But no acknowledgement is complete without thanking my family, and my loving partner YanLi Shen. Thanks YanLi for cooking so many dinners for me while I tried to concentrate on the book.

His current interests are in the areas of Azure, federated identity with a focus on Windows Identity Foundation, ALM, and Silverlight or XAML development. He is also active in the user community, speaking regularly at the user groups and events, such as "Developer Developer Developer".
Alex Mackey specializes in web development and works for the Australian .Net consultancy Readify. He is a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) in Internet Explorer development and an author (Introducing .Net 4.0 with Visual Studio 2010, Apress). Alex has spoken at a number of technical conferences (TechEd Remix, Australian ALM), and organizes the community conference DDD Melbourne.
Nick Randolph currently runs Built To Roam, which focuses on building rich mobile applications. Previously, Nick was a co-founder and Development Manager for Nsquared Solutions where he led a team of developers to build inspirational software using next-wave technology. Prior to Nsquared, Nick was the lead developer at Intilecta Corporation Limited where he was integrally involved in designing and building their application framework.
After graduating from a combined engineering (Information Technology) and commerce degree, Nick went on to be nominated as a Microsoft MVP in recognition of his work with the Perth .Net user group, and his focus on mobile devices. He is still an active contributor in the device application development space through his blog at http://nicksnettravels.builttoroam.com, Visual Studio Magazine (http://visualstudiomagazine.com/Articles/List/Mobile-Corner.aspx), and BuildMobile (http://buildmobile.com/category/windows/).
Nick has been invited to present at a variety of events including TechEd Australia and New Zealand, MEDC, and Code Camp.
