Beginning Role Playing Games Programming with VB 2005

Chris Williams is the creator of the VB.NET role-playing game Heroic Adventure! He is also the author of several articles on .NET and object-oriented game development, as well as a prolific blogger at geekswithblogs.net and blogusmaximus.com. Chris is also the founder and current president of the Greater Charleston .NET User Group (gcnug.org) and founder of the Roanoke Valley .NET User Group (rvnug.org), as well as a regular speaker at .NET user groups and code camps throughout the southeast. A self-proclaimed .NET evangelist, Chris began working with .NET in the early beta days. Quickly realizing he was looking at something huge, he made the leap from VB6 and never looked back. After acquiring his MCAD and MCSD certifications in .NET, along with the "Early Achiever" designation, Chris went on to become an MCT so he could share his enthusiasm and knowledge with a larger audience. In addition to speaking and working on his numerous pet projects, Chris spends his daylight hours developing software for non-profits at Blackbaud in Charleston, SC.
