About the Author
Kevin Hoffman has been programming since he was 10 years old. His grandfather repaired an old Commodore VIC-20 that someone had thrown away. Armed with his wirebound BASIC programming manual, a VIC-20 and “slowed” floppy drive from a Commodore 64, he was already creating text-based roleplaying games. He went on to learn just about every programming language he could find, including Pascal, C, C++, Delphi, Scheme, LISP, ASA, Perl, and many others. After learning all the languages he could find, he finally found C#, his Holy Grail of programming languages, and has been addicted to programming with C# on the .NET Framework ever since.
