Person
Andrew Parsons has been programming with the Basic language for more than 20 years and with Visual Basic for the last eight years. He has experience with more than a dozen programming languages but keeps coming back to the Basic language because of its easy-to-understand syntax and the powerful features found in the modern versions, and he believes that Visual Basic is the best language to program in no matter what your level of experience.
Andrew has written several books and technical articles about Visual Basic for magazines in Australia and New Zealand and is constantly improving his own skills in Visual Basic with ongoing programming work with companies such as Quicken Software (associated with Intuit Inc.) and APS. When he's not writing code for other people, or books to help people learn how to program effectively, he serves as editor of MSDN Magazine, Australia and New Zealand, and still finds time to write add-ins for Microsoft Office at GrayMatter Software (www.graymatter.com.au).
