Martin C. Brown has been a professional writer for over four years, and wrote the Perl and Python versions of Annotated Archives (0078825571; 0072121041), and Complete Reference (0072129506; 007212718x); iMac FYI (1929685068); and thirteen other computing titles.

And Brown contributes regularly to white papers and 'how to' guides by Microsoft, on subjects like migrating Solaris/Unix/Linux development and systems administration for the Windows 2000 and 2003 Server product lines.
Martin is also the LAMP Technologies Editor for LinuxWorld Magazine. He draws on a rich and varied background as founder member of a leading UK ISP, systems manager and IT consultant for an advertising agency and internet solutions group, technical specialist for an intercontinental ISP network, and database designer and programmer - and as a self-confessed compulsive consumer of computing hardware and software. Brown's expertise includes multiple languages and platforms-Perl, Python, Java, JavaScript, Basic, Pascal, Modula-2, C, C++, Rebol, Gawk, Shellscript, Windows, Solaris, Linux, BeOS, Microsoft WP, and Mac OS-as well as web programming, systems management, and integration.
In his formative pre-writing life, Brown spent ten years designing and managing mixed-platform environments. As a result, he has developed a rare talent of conveying the intricacies of his subject with equal parts enthusiasm, professionalism, and insight. When he's not writing, Brown develops data-rich websites and web-based applications for clients like Hewlett-Packard, Oracle, and his personal venture, Foodware
