Code Generation in Microsoft .Net (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781590591376)

Kathleen Dollard has been involved in the computer industry for a long time. She started (she claims) by experimenting with programming in junior high. After graduate work, she worked with the computer group at Texaco Research writing Fortran and helped usher in the age of PCs doing Lotus 1-2-3 macros. After working with 4GLs and Clipper, Dollard became an independent consultant, ultimately moving to Visual Basic when it became clear that Computer Associates would not release the Windows version of Clipper. Dollard is well known for her participation over the last 15 years with online communities, including BBSs, Compuserve, Fawcette, DevX, and Microsoft public newsgroups. She has been recognized in some form for her online work since 1994, and she's been a Microsoft "Most Valuable Professional" since 1998. Dollard is also active in the real-world communities of user groups, most recently with the Denver Visual Studio User Group and the Northern Colorado .NET SIG startup. A well-known writer and speaker, she is currently doing pioneering work in code generation using .NET and XSLT.
