About the Author

Dirk Strauss is a software developer and Microsoft .NET MVP from South Africa with over 13 years of programming experience. He has extensive experience in SYSPRO Customization (an ERP system), with C# and web development being his main focus.

He works for Evolution Software, but in all fairness, he can't really call it working at all. When you're having fun and loving what you do with incredibly inspirational inpiduals, you will not work a day in your life.

He authored the C# Programming Cookbook in 2016 (also published by Packt) and has written for Syncfusion, contributing to the Succinctly series of eBooks.

He also blogs at https://dirkstrauss.com/, whenever he gets a chance.

I would like to thank the team at Evolution Software for being such an incredible source of inspiration to me in my professional and personal life. Working with you folks challenges me to become better at what I do and the way I live my life. Being a part of the Evolution Software team is the most fulfilling experience of my career. It is something that I will always be incredibly grateful for.
Last but by no means least, I would like to thank my wife and kids. Thank you for reminding me what life is actually about. Without your love and support, this book would not have been possible. I love you.
