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 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 how to teach programming to kids. And I ran a Medium-partnered publication that featured hot takes on software design, programming humor, and everything in between.
These days, I’m spending more of my time looking into the promise and potential catastrophes of AI. You can keep up with me on Mastodon (like Twitter, but less crazy), or send an email to matthew @ prosetech.com.
