A Little About Me

Here’s the deal. I published my first book twenty years ago, and I’ve been writing biographies like this one ever since, wondering how much should I say? How boastful should I sound? And do you want to hear about Matthew in the third person?

My brief life story is that I was a long-ago expert in web programming and (particularly) the .NET stack, for which I was a many-time Microsoft MVP. I wrote books for almost every tech publisher in existence (and many that aren’t any more), including O’Reilly, Apress, No Starch, Microsoft Press, Wrox, and Osborne McGraw-Hill. I’ve also written about the human brain, and teaching programming to kids. And I ran a Medium-partnered publication that featured hot takes on software design, programming humor, and everything in between. But these days, I’m spending most of my time wandering into unusual alleyways in search of new adventures.

I like to hear from other human beings, although I respond slowly. You can contact me by emailing matthew @ prosetech.com.
