Testimonials
I liked the knowledgeable comparison of the various technologies, including when to use or not to use each. Very clear and objective. His information is based on real experience using the technologies.

I want to thank Markus for his graciousness and willingness to share his knowledge for so long. I’ll probably never throw away his Object Oriented book even though I no longer do much but maintain records in the applications I wrote. His teaching on C# and his State of .NET have been always rich and valuable. He is one of a kind.
