Index.
I am Bill Sempf, and you’ll notice that I don’t write in third
person. I have spent an inordinate amount of time in the last
several years writing about, thinking about, and coding in VB.NET.
I am a coauthor of Pro Visual Studio.NET, Effective Visual
Studio.NET, Professional ASP.NET Web Services and Professional
VB.NET (among others), and a frequent contributor to the Microsoft
Developer Network, Builder.com, Hardcore Web Services, Inside Web
Development Journal, and Intranet Journal.
I have recently been an invited speaker for DevEssentials, the
International XML Web Services Expo, and the Association of
Information Technology Professionals. As a graduate of Ohio State
University with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration,
Microsoft Certified Professional, Certified Internet Business
Strategist, and Certified Internet Webmaster, I have developed over
one hundred Web applications for startups and Fortune 500 companies
alike.
I began my career in 1985 by helping my father (also named Bill)
manage Apple IIe systems for the local library. Since then, I have
built applications for the likes of Lucent Technologies, Bank One,
the State of Ohio, Nationwide Insurance, and Sears, Roebuck and Co.
I specialized in data-driven Web applications of all types, both
public and private. Currently, I am the Senior Technology
Consultant at Products of Innovative New Technology in Grove City,
Ohio, a Microsoft Certified Partner. I can be reached at
