Author Bio
About the Author Al Stevens has written the C Programming column in Dr. Dobb's Journal, the number one programmer's magazine, since 1988. He is the author of more than a dozen best-selling titles for MIS PRESS, including, Teach Yourself C++ 5th Edition and Teach Yourself Microsoft Windows 98. Al lectures nationally to programmers, educators, and systems managers on technical issues related to programming and software design. A professional programmer since 1958, and an independent programming consultant and writer since 1978, Al maintains a loyal following of readers who appreciate his insight and clear writing style. Clayton Walnum started programming computers in 1982 when he traded in an IBM Selectric typewriter to buy an Atari 400 computer (16K of RAM!). Clay soon learned to combine his interest in writing with his newly acquired programming skills, and started selling programs and articles to computer magazines. In 1985, Analog Computing - a nationally distributed computer magazine - hired him as a technical editor. Before leaving the magazine business in 1989 to become a freelance writer, Clay had worked his way up to Executive Editor. He since has acquired a degree in Computer Science, and has worked on more than 40 books (translated into many languages) covering everything from computer gaming to 3-D graphics programming. He also has written hundreds of magazine articles and software reviews, as well as countless programs. His recent books include Windows 98 Programming Secrets, C++ Master Reference, and The Complete Idiot's Guide to Visual Basic 6. Clay's biggest disappointment in life is that he wasn't one of the Beatles. To compensate, he writes and records rock music in his home studio.
