About the Author

Ronald Kevin Burton has been around software development for almost 20 years. He has worked with small and efficient real-time executive programs for controlling the flow of communications data in a communications system. He participated in a team to build critical flight-control software, and has worked on Cyber, Unix, VAX/VMS, OS/9, VxWorks, Windows NT, and Windows 2000 systems. Kevin built complex real-time systems that analyzed images and provided feedback to the user, as well as custom software to augment the operation of an electron microscope. Currently, Kevin is working on building cutting edge systems to automate the production and distribution of news broadcasts. He sees the .NET Framework as the next evolution of software development and is excited about being part of that movement. Kevin can be reached at [email protected].
