Geoffrey McGill is the founder of Ext.NET and a 10+ year veteran of ASP.NET, C#, and JavaScript development. Geoffrey is responsible for overseeing the technical and strategic direction of Ext.NET.

As an early adopter of Ext JS (originally yui-ext), the benefit to ASP.NET developers was obvious, although how to integrate into the ASP.NET life cycle was not. This is where the idea for Ext.NET was born.

As a passionate advocate for free and open-source software, Geoffrey has contributed code to many projects, including as the creator of DateJS (http://datejs.com/) which has been downloaded more than 2,000,000 times.

Daniil Veriga was born in 1985. As a young man, he enjoyed programming and won prizes in school competitions on programming. His interest in programming predetermined his path. He graduated from the Department of Computer Systems and Programming of the Saint-Petersburg State University Of Aerospace Instrumentation with honors. He started his career as a Software Engineer in a company developing industrial automation systems. He got great experience designing and implementing high performance real-time systems and solving challenging tasks. But later, he got interested in web technologies and was eventually hired to work for Ext.NET in 2010. His main skills and experience are C#, .NET, ASP.NET, ASP.NET MVC (Web Form and Razor engines), SQL, Visual Studio, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, ExtJS, and (obviously) Ext.NET, which this book is about. In his spare time, Daniil likes reading, swimming, skiing, biking, exercising on horizontal bars, and arm-wrestling.

Vladimir Shcheglov graduated from Saint-Petersburg State University of Aerospace Instrumentation with a Master's degree in Computer Science. He began his IT career as a Delphi developer (industrial control). Since 2005, he has been a C#/ASP.NET developer.

Vladimir started to learn ExtJS from Version 1.1 and tried using it in an ASP.NET context. He received an invite to participate in the Coolite framework (former name of Ext.Net) development after creating and sharing the first prototype of Visual Studio designers and ASP.NET controls.

Vladimir is the lead Software Engineer on the Ext.NET team.
