Doug Lowe begun his technology career as a programmer some 20-odd years ago and has been writing computer programming books since the guys who invented Active Server Pages were still in high school. He's written books on COBOL, Fortran, Visual Basic, Java, C#, ASP, Web programming, and probably a few he's forgotten about. He's the author of more than 30 For Dummies books, including best-sellers such as Networking For Dummies (7th Edition), Networking For Dummies All-in-One Desk Reference, PowerPoint 2003 For Dummies, and Internet Explorer 6 For Dummies. Doug recently completed writing the Java All In One Desk Reference For Dummies and both the C# and VB versions of Murach’s ASP.NET 2.0 Upgrader’s Guide.  Doug also teaches programming courses at a local community college.
