- Summary
Mike Liu was born in 1966 in China. He studied Mathematics at Nanjing University between 1984 and 1988. After graduating with a Bachelor's degree, he worked as a Programmer / Senior Software Engineer / Architect under Unix and DOS using C/C++, DBase and Oracle. In 1995 he moved to New Zealand and studied Business Computing at the Auckland University of Technology in 1996. During his 5 years New Zealand, he worked as a Senior Software Engineer under Unix and Windows using C/C++, Java, FoxPro, Informix, Oracle and SQL Server. He moved to the United States in 2000, and since then has been working as a Web Developer / Senior Software Engineer / Principal Software Engineer under Unix and Windows using C/C++, C#, Visual Basic, Java, ASP, ASP.NET, Oracle and SQL Server. While working in the United States he studied Software Engineering at Brandeis University, and graduated in 2005 with a Master's degree.
Mike Liu had his first book (MITT:Multi-user Integrated Table-processing Tool Under Unix) published in 1993, and had his second book (Advanced C# Programming) published in 2003. He became a Sun Certified Java Programmer (SCJP) in 2000, a Microsoft Certified Solution Developer (MCSD) for Visual Studio 6.0 in 2001, and an MCSD for .NET in 2004.
Many thanks to the editors and technical reviewers at Packt Publishing. Without their help, this book won't be of such high quality. Thanks also to my wife, Julia Guo, and my two sons, Kevin and James Liu, for their patience and support while I was working on this book.
