George Adamson
An accomplished design architect, front-end dev and UX evangelist, George has tackled apps and web sites ranging from luxury travel to Doctor Who, getting immersed in all aspects of Information Architecture, Interaction Design and Ideation. He strives to edge clients towards Institutional Usability.
From time to time George pops off to speak at conferences and user groups, typically on jQuery, responsive design and interaction design, about which he’s rather obsessive.
With his development head on, George spends his time with front-end HTML5, CSS3, JS frameworks and jQuery. Historically, he has built on top of Microsoft tech at the back-end but during 2010 he moved to Ruby, Rails, Merb, NodeJS and GIT. In addition to the creative stuff, George enjoys the agile world and is experienced in the full project life-cycle, having worked with a variety of development initiatives for major corporations, duelling the ever-present constraints of time and budgets.
Currently directing the mobile side of artolo.com. Recent projects include Intrinsic ATR app for iPad, Avelo mobile apps, BBC Doctor Who, Nationwide, HMV, Waterstones, Comet Electricals.

Neil Barnwell
I’m an Application Developer and Software Architect for a wide variety of software solutions including websites, services and desktop applications. Most recently focussed on a bespoke distribution centre management system using amongst other things C#, XAML, WCF, NServiceBus, RavenDB, DDD, CQRS and Event Sourcing.
Since my move to .NET I’ve become active in the community, attending monthly usergroup meetings and various conferences. I’ve even made a foray into speaking about topics I am passionate about.
While I love experimenting with new tech and have several open source hobby projects, my current focus is less on specific new technologies and more on good principles and techniques.
When not at work I’m a family man, biker, amateur photographer, guitarist and of course, software developer.

Marc is part of the development team for Stack Exchange (and a self-confessed Stack Overflow junkie), and has been a C# MVP for the last 4 years. He has a long history of open source projects, and tries to focus on high-performance, low-impact libraries (hiding all the "ugly" from app developers). Before his transition to Stack Exchange, his history is corporate / line-of-business (mainly on the Microsoft / .NET stack).

Mark Rendle
Mark is currently employed as Principle Software Architect by Dot Net Solutions Ltd, creating all manner of software on the Microsoft stack, including ASP.NET MVC, Windows Azure, WPF and Silverlight.
His career in software design and development spans three decades and more programming languages than he can remember. C# has been his favourite language pretty much since the first public beta, when you had to write the code in a text editor and compile it on the command line. Those were the days. You kids today, with your IntelliSense and your ReSharpers, don’t know you’re born...
Things vying for Mark’s attention lately include functional programming, dynamic programming, Ruby, internet-centric applications, the Azure cloud platform and NoSQL data stores.

Jon Skeet
Jon Skeet is a C# expert and community leader, although he has spent most of his career alternating between Java and .NET according to employers' whims. He's currently working in Java at Google's London office, but his preferred language is still C#. His 20% projects at Google include porting Protocol Buffers and the Google Wave Robot API to .NET. He enjoys writing about coding almost as much as the coding itself, and he's currently working on the second edition of "C# in Depth" (Manning, 2008) to incorporate the new features of C# 4. At the moment, Jon is probably best known for his contributions to Stack Overflow, the Q&A site for developers. Jon has been awarded as a Microsoft C# MVP (Most Valuable Professional) since 2003.

Jimmy Skowronski
Jimmy started his computing adventure long time ago with Atari, which of course was far better than Commodore, contrary to the popular opinion. Fast forward... When the first .NET version was released he jumped on it as an excuse to stop writing code in classic ASP and Delphi. He is now working as a Principal Software Engineer in Symantec.cloud where he is a technical leader and the .NET evangelist. His day is mainly consumed by mentoring, managing development and from time to time designing and coding a new cool stuff. Currently, his favorite topics are MVC, WIF and identity and Windows Phone. After a hard day in the office he loves to fly a virtual space ship in Eve Online. Jimmy is also the leader of the GL.net, a free .NET user group based in Gloucester and Cheltenham area.
