About the Author

Robert Garrett (“Rob” for short) has worked in the field of SharePoint since 2006 and has grown his career as a SharePoint developer and now as an established SharePoint architect. Prior to 2006, Rob was an enthusiastic software developer, talented in many programming languages, including C++, C#, Visual Basic, and even Java.

Pro SharePoint 2013 Administration is the second SharePoint administration book Rob has written, following on his success with Pro SharePoint 2010 Administration.

Rob has designed, developed, and deployed various high-profile customer web sites, intranet, and extranet solutions using SharePoint Server 2007, 2010, and now 2013. These days Rob works exclusively as a SharePoint architect (when not writing or reviewing books) and continues to design and build custom SharePoint solutions with Planet Technologies for the United States Federal Government.

As Microsoft continues to invest in the SharePoint product, Rob plans to keep staying ahead of the SharePoint technology curve and to share new and interesting information with anyone who cares to read what he writes.

Rob is very active in the social community and likes to tweet fun SharePoint facts and solutions to problems, as well as follow other like-minded SharePoint experts on Twitter. You can follow Rob on Twitter using his handle: @rgarrettpro.
