Jeff joined Microsoft just after the release of Windows 95 – what he calls “heady days” that laid the groundwork for his current fascination with all things .NET. He also watched the long march of Windows 2000 and can brag that he was on the ground for the browser wars. At Microsoft, Jeff has worn a number of different hats, working as an infrastructure consultant, an e-commerce specialist, and an enterprise technology advisor. In his current role, Jeff helps customers and developers to evaluate, develop and deploy applications built on the .NET framework and the Microsoft platform.

For Clint, it's all about the architects. He was educated as a mechanical engineer, but quickly saw the error of his ways and has spent his entire 17-year career in software development, preparing for his current role as an architect evangelist. Cutting his teeth on Turbo Pascal (with Objects!) in high school, he moved to C++ and immersed himself in the Windows API when he landed his first professional job. When .NET and C# were released he immediately jumped in head first and never looked back. Clint has applied his expertise to a wide range of industries, including utilities, education, call centers, construction, and beer brewing (tough assignment, Clint!). When he’s not deep in a conversation or delivering presentations on software layering, Clint enjoys studying game design and 3D game engine architecture.
