Joseph Albahari’s Summary

I'm a software architect, author and speaker with 18 years' experience in design and programming.

I'm keenly involved in C# and LINQ, and am the author of the popular book "C# 3.0 in a Nutshell". I've also written LINQPad, the utility for interactively querying databases in LINQ instead of SQL. Yeah, I'm a bit geeky. I still go out though. At least occasionally!

I spoke at TechEd 2009 Gold Coast & Auckland in September and will be speaking again November in Perth on what's new in C# 4.0.

C# MVP since 2008.

Joseph Albahari’s Specialties:

I have extensive experience in C#, LINQ and the .NET BCL.
