Laerte Poltronieri Junior started in the IT world early, at the age of 12. When 16, he was developing software using Clipper Summer 85 and he used almost all versions. Then in 1998 he was introduced to SQL Server 6.5; since then it was love at first sight and marriage. In 2008, he met PowerShell and as he is an aficionado for automated, smart, and flexible solutions in SQL Server, from this marriage was born a son. And today they are a happy family.
Currently, he is writing a book for Manning Publications.
