I have been writing books for computer programmers and users since 1986. The programming books cover MS-DOS, OS/2, Windows, C, C++, Visual Basic, Java, XML, animation, game, and graphics programming. The user-level books focus on Microsoft Office applications. More than a million of these books have been sold, and they have been translated into many languages. My book XML Step by Step won the top award, "Distinguished Technical Communication," in the 2000-2001 International Technical Publications Competition of the Society for Technical Communication.
