Cristian Darie is an experienced programmer specializing in various Microsoft and open source technologies, and relational database management systems. Having worked with computers since he was old enough to press the keyboard, he initially tasted programming success with a first prize in his first programming contest at the age of 12, and from there moved on to many other similar achievements in years that followed. As an eagle-eyed technical reviewer with Wrox Press, Cristian was tempted into writing and has since co-authored several .NET and database books for Wrox Press and Apress, including Beginning ASP.NET E-Commerce and The Programmer’s Guide to SQL.
Cristian is currently building a large community website using the Community Starter Kit for University "Politehnica" of Bucharest. He can be contacted through his personal website at http://www.CristianDarie.ro.
