About the Author
Alfonso V. Romero has been working with Linux and Open Source Software since 1999, when he started operating his first Web server (Apache) from a PC at home. Since then he's been working as a Computer consultant for LASECLAT & ProEco Laboratories in Mexico, along with several other clients, as a Java, C++, and web applications developer. He also works for Pearson Education in Mexico as a Computer Books Freelance Translator and Consultant. When he's not experimenting with new trends in Open Source and .NET applications, he enjoys spending some quality time with his beautiful wife, his three kids and his three dogs, or playing his old electric Ibanez guitar.
He's also a big fan of Stephen King, and one of his maximum aspirations is to write a fiction novel, but his passion for computers and information technology keeps him busy as a technical writer.
