He has been everything from a programmer to a software company president. Throughout, he has worked to bring others along with him and help them make the best use of all that computers can do. Toward that end, Marty has written more than 80 books on programming and computing subjects, with many becoming bestsellers and receiving many accolades.

His recent books include iPhone for Seniors QuickSteps, Windows 8.1 for Seniors QuickSteps, Microsoft Office 2013 QuickSteps, and PHP & MySQL Web Development: A Beginners Guide.

Carole Matthews has been in the computer industry for her whole career, from programmer to vice president of her family-owned company. For the past 30 years she has authored, co-authored, or managed the writing and production of more than 50 books, including Facebook for Seniors QuickSteps, Microsoft Office 2013 QuickSteps, and Microsoft Word 2013 QuickSteps.
