Laurent Bugnion’s Summary

I work as a senior software developer and architect for Siemens Building Technologies (SBT) in Switzerland, where I live with my wife Chi Meei and my two daughters Alise and Laeticia. Originally an Electronics engineer, my interests moved to software very fast and I achieved a postgrade study in Software Engineering in 1999.

Currently, my interests are very much set on WPF, Silverlight and other .NET 3.5 technologies, which I helped introduce at SBT and am currently teaching and coaching within my project and within Siemens worldwide.

As a "side project", I am also writing "Teach Yourself Silverlight 2 in 24 Hours" for Sams Publishing. This book will be published soon.

Prior to that, I first wrote embedded C/C++, and then moving to desktop computers in Java, JavaScript and eventually .NET (WinForms and ASP.NET).

Privately, I have also been very active, developing mainly websites and web applications in HTML, JavaScript, CSS, ASP and currently ASP.NET. I have done my best to contribute to the community, first in the JavaScript newsgroups, and then in Microsoft's newsgroups related to ASP.NET, C#, WPF and Silverlight. I blog regularly on http://blog.galasoft.ch and write on my website http://www.galasoft.ch where I also publish articles, prototypes and demos related to the mentioned technologies. In 2008, I also earned a MCTS for Windows Presentation Foundation.

2008 is my second year as a MVP, first in ASP.NET and now in Client Application Development. In 2007 I became Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist for the field of WPF.
